The important work of the League of Women Voters of San Francisco is typically carried out by its volunteer committees. Committees are made up of League members, just like you, who share their time and talent to make the League’s work possible.

Volunteer Now for the Speakers Bureau!

If you are looking for volunteer opportunities, consider the Speakers Bureau. The League provides objective information about San Francisco ballot measures to community groups. As a trained League representative, you have the opportunity to speak to schools, churches, companies, neighborhood associations, and other groups. Presentations are unbiased and inform voters so they can decide.

Do you speak Chinese, Spanish, Russian, or another language? You can help us reach out to groups whose first language is not English.

¿Desea la oportunidad de presentar información a la comunidad Latina sobre nuestras escuelas, los impuestos, y nuestros representantes locales? La Liga proporciona información imparcial sobre propuestas de ley en la boleta de San Francisco a grupos de la comunidad.

Call the League at 415-989-8683 or email lwvsf@lwvsf.org for further
information about volunteering. See the list of Volunteer opportunities below.

Other League Volunteer Opportunities

Voter Services

Educating citizens so they can make informed choices and get involved in government is the heart and soul of the League. This critical committee needs MANY helping hands. It includes the following activities: * Speakers Bureau * Televised Debates * Pros and Cons Guide * Candidate Forums * Smart Voter Website * Community Elections Monitoring

Membership

Support existing members and encourage new people to join the League! Help create social and educational events, prepare informational materials, track members in the database, and survey member views.

VOTER Newsletter

Do you like to write or edit? Help inform, educate, and activate League members by helping to produce the quarterly newsletter.

Development

Help bring home the bacon! Committee members research and write grants, develop relationships, create fundraising events, and solicit support from interested community members and companies.

Volunteers and Internships

The League is a volunteer-driven organization. This committee recruits volunteers, solicits and supports interns (often by guiding them through special projects), and helps us let our volunteers know how important they are.

Information Management (website and database)

If you have technical skills in database and website management, or if you would like to write content for the web, this is the committee for you. We need bright minds that can help us use the latest and greatest tools.

Public Relations (media and community partnerships)

If you have experience working with the media, or in building relationships with community groups, consider the Public Relations committee. Help spread the word about the League using print, TV, radio, and the web. You can also help us to create strong connections and partnerships with community groups across San Francisco.

Finance

Help keep the League on track. This committee ensures the accurate and timely reporting of the League’s financial health.

Budget

People with a good eye for finances are needed to help create the League’s annual budget. This committee typically works in the spring. This short-term commitment makes a big impact on the League's operations.

Nominating

Who will the next generation of League leaders be? Nominating committee members are always on the look out to bring talented, diverse, and dedicated women and men to the League’s board of directors. This committee communicates throughout the year and makes recommendations for board nominees each spring.

Advocacy

Help promote positive solutions to San Francisco public policy issues. Advocacy committee members track and analyze select critical issues and, after careful study and consensus, act to influence policy.

We need you! If you would like to join a committee, please call the League at (415) 989-VOTE or email lwvsf@lwvsf.org.
