What are the benefits of being a LWVSF member?
Membership in LWVSF has many perks. In addition to supporting the League, you'll learn about politics, meet with local representatives, and get invaluable experience in public policy and government.
You can influence the work of the powerful national and state Leagues. LWVSF members vote on the areas of focus of the local, regional, state, and national Leagues, and can attend the state and national League conventions on behalf of LWVSF.
You'll help set the direction of LWVSF, voting on our budget, board of directors, and other important decisions. Members have opportunities to take on leadership roles, such as chairing a committee or serving in an appointed seat.
We also host many events for members, some with expert speakers, some just for fun.
What do the different membership levels mean?
You can become a 'Standard' member for $85.00 a year. Or, your 'Household' can join for $120.00 a year. The other membership levels, such as 'Susan B. Anthony' and 'Eleanor Roosevelt,' let us celebrate and recognize members who want to give a larger donation.
Do I have to be a woman to be a LWVSF member?
No, people of all genders are welcome and encouraged to become members. We are fully committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
I'm a student. Can I be a LWVSF member?
Yes, students are welcome. The minimum age is 16, and we offer a reduced student price for membership that's $25.00 a year.
I can't afford the membership fee. Is there an alternative?
Yes, we offer a 'Pay What You Can' membership. It gives you all of the benefits of membership in the League of Women Voters of San Francisco.
