Leadership opportunities are not date-specific tasks, can be as needed, and include things such as committee work or writing assignments.
Thank you for considering an ongoing commitment to League work!

Coordinators

Event Coordinators



How about you? We expect to have many requests from community partners for voter registration help at events in 2024. We need several Event Coordinators to respond to these requests. If the events are approved, the Coordinators would be the primary contact between the community partner and the League. The position would include collecting information about the event, recruiting volunteers, requesting the materials they'll need and recording the results of the event.


This would require good communication skills, knowledge of computers, and rudimentary knowledge of Google. We would train you to do this work.


Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this request.

Giving Tuesday Leadership Volunteer Opportunity


LWVMC has not participated in Giving Tuesday in the past.  We should be a part of this movement to raise awareness of our mission and raise money to further our mission to empower voters and defend democracy. Volunteer for this targeted and short-term leadership opportunity to plan and implement a Giving Tuesday strategy.  While approval is needed, this is a chance to be creative and scale the project to your available time and expertise.   Align the project with our principles of being a grassroots, nonpartisan organization. 

Contact Mary Voelker at 
m.voelker@lwvmilwaukee.org  to express interest and/or for more information.   




Highschool Outreach Coordinator Volunteer


The High School Voter Registration project is looking for Outreach Coordinators.   Coordinators facilitate registration events in the high schools - linking with the staff coordinators, training and supporting students at registration events, and organizing the League volunteers.  We have all of the training and registration materials, step-by-step directions for coordinators and a great system for getting volunteer helpers.  You can start with just one school and add others as you wish.  


 








Governance Committee Charter

On September 11, the Board of Directors approved the formation of a Governance Committee for LWVMC.  The committee will address actions that need to be taken that don’t fall under the purview of any specific person, officer or committee but are necessary to the success of the organization.  The committee will serve the Board to help LWVMC reach its full potential.  The committee will meet at least quarterly and on an as needed basis. 
You can read the charter for the committee here. 

Please contact Governance Committee Chair, Lorna Grade, if you are interested in joining at l.grade@lwvmilwaukee.org.  Related skills would include administration, human resources, bylaws/parliamentarian, strategic planning, and leadership training.

Vote411 Database Team Member

Each Spring the League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County develops an online voter guide using VOTE411.org. We input the races and candidate data for both Milwaukee County and Waukesha County elections. To do this we need a team of individuals to prepare, manage, and enter candidate information into the VOTE411.org database for each Spring election.


The database role requires good organizational skills and comfort level working with computers. The work can be done from home, on your own schedule and involves preparing races and entering race and candidate information. The most crucial time commitment is the first week of January when candidate registration closes. You will have about three days to enter candidate information provided by League volunteers who collect that data from local clerks.


Team members are ready and willing to train you.

LWVMC Volunteers

Naturalization Volunteer


For over 50 years the League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County has offered voter registration after every naturalization ceremony at the Federal Courthouse and in the community at large. Our volunteers welcome new Americans by guiding them through the registration process and providing them with non-partisan educational materials and election reminders in an effort to empower them to become informed voters. Ceremonies are held one Thursday each month, and we are on site from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Volunteers may choose to work a morning or afternoon shift, and some spend the entire day. All volunteers must be OVR trained, and participation is on a first come basis.


Team members are ready and willing to train you.
