The best way to understand what the League does and how we work is to get involved in one or more activities. Here are some ideas:

Join an action group. 
These groups work on particular issues that our League has taken a position on, and most hold monthly meetings. They talk with experts to learn about the issues, partner with other like-minded organizations, and take action. They may hold public events and rallies, contact legislators and encourage others to do so, take a stand on local issues and write letters to support our positions. You may join more than one group, and you may be as involved as you like.

Attend orientation meetings.
This is especially true as a new member, but even seasoned members enjoy meeting other members and learning new things about the League and what we do.

Volunteer for a committee.
We have several committees that help manage our League, and volunteers are always welcome. There are opportunities for making phone calls to members, planning meetings and social events, posting on social media, writing letters, and more.

Get certified to register voters.
Once you are certified, sign up to participate in these events. It’s a great way to spend time out in our community and get to know other members.

Attend events. 
We hope you will come to League-sponsored meetings, and we encourage you to attend events put on by other organizations. Our activities and meetings are posted on our event calendar.

Read your League email messages.
Reading our monthly issue of The VOTER newsletter gives you an overview of what we’ve accomplished and what is coming up in the next month. We hope you’ll also read our other emails to see what they’re about – you may find information on an interesting event or a call to action that inspires you. The state and national Leagues also send messages regularly, and these help give us a perspective beyond our local area.

Participate in state and national League events.
The Florida League has been holding frequent online Lunch and Learn programs during the pandemic, and these have been an excellent way to learn more about a wide variety of topics. The LWV of the US is engaged in activities on the national level, and holds events that give us a broad look at current events and issues.
