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!




Library Outreach Volunteers

 

This is a volunteer-led program that aims to connect all of the Milwaukee County libraries with the League's voter education and civic engagement materials, as well as scheduling voter registration events. Currently, each library has a volunteer liaison, but we welcome more volunteers who can help assemble (and perhaps deliver) literature packets, assist at voter registration events and/or host a table at a library event.

 

 

Interested? Contact Amy Germershausen at  a.germershausen@lwvmilwaukee.org or Marsha Poulsen at m.poulsen@lwvmilwaukee.org





Event Coordinator(s) for Giving Days in 2025

LWVMC will have two Giving Day Campaign in 2025:

  • The first leading up to International Women's Day on March 8.
  • The second leading up to International Democracy Day on September 15.

The intent is to reach out into the community to build awareness for what we do and build support for our work.  So to not over solicit our membership, these will be social media campaigns with some targeted emails to nonmembers in our database.  


Help on content will be provided and the actual postings will be done by the League's Social Media Team.  


These are both short term volunteer leadership opportunities and can provide a huge impact for our League.  Engage your creative side and help make a difference!!


Interested in one or both?    Contact Mary Voelker at 
m.voelker@lwvmilwaukee.org





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.  

Interested? Contact Judy Winn at jwinn@lwvmilwaukee.org.

 




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 Volunteer Coordinator

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 use the help of community volunteers to interact with their local clerks to collect this information. We are looking for an individual who can coordinate with these 8-12 community volunteers in Waukesha County for each Spring election.

 

Coordinator skills required are good time management and friendly disposition. The work can be done from home, on your own schedule and involves contacting municipal and school district clerks and volunteers via email in late fall to confirm participation, again in November to explain exactly what candidate information we need and finally on January 3. The most crucial time commitment is the first week of January when candidate registration closes. You will have about three days to collect the information from your volunteers and pass that along to the database team.

 

Committee members are ready and willing to train you.




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.

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.
