The
important work of the League of Women Voters of San Francisco is
typically carried out by its volunteer committees. Committees are
made up 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
give voters the information they need to make up their own minds.
Do you
speak Chinese, Spanish, Russian, or another language? You can help us reach
out groups whose first language is not English.

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 to better serve members.
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 is a short-term commitment that
makes a big impact on the League's operation.
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. |
