Join the League
Why and how can you join our grassroots organization?
Who are the members?
Membership in the League of Women Voters, the most respected and effective grassroots organization in the country, is open to men and women of all ages.
Our members make a visible difference by serving as community leaders using their experience to create positive, lasting change in our communities.
Why should I join?
Through participation in League projects, you will
- contribute valuable service to the community
- gain knowledge and experience through the study and discussion of timely and important topics
- discover new interests, develop new skills and learn about crucial issues in your
community
- make professional contacts and develop lasting friendships as you meet others in League who share your interests
How much time does it take?
It's up to you! Many members choose to support the League only with their
annual dues. Your membership alone gives us the political influence needed
to build a voice for citizens and a force for change. We cover a broad spectrum
of issues and concerns; you may choose to become involved in one or more of
them by actively participating in a group study, or listening to a panel of
experts at a meeting or just reading about them in one of our publications.
What do I get?
You automatically become a member of the Cook County Inter-League Organization, LWV Illinois and LWV of the United
States. You will receive their publications
along with the newsletter from the Park Forest Area League of Women Voters called The Intercom which is usually published
six times each year
. You will have the knowledge that you are adding your
voice to a powerful force of members from all 50 states, Washington DC,
the Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong.
How do I join?
It's easy! Just fill out a form.
Contact us at
league@lwvpfa.org

If you prefer to donate to us without joining our organization, we would appreciate your support.
