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.
​
Beginning February 1, 2025, all LWV memberships will be processed through ChapterSpot. You can join LWVLY (that is, our local League) by visiting our unique ChapterSpot sign-up site here.
Already a LWVLY member and need to renew, pay your annual dues, or make a donation? You should visit the LWV portal here. Remember, you don't need a password for the portal. You will be emailed a new link to enter the portal each time you access it.
​
Recommended dues are $75 per year. Members can choose for their dues to be auto-renewed each year, making staying current simple! There is also a pay-as-you-can dues option for members who are students or experiencing financial hardships; the minimum dues contribution is $20 per year.
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 Is Expected of Me?
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, listening to a panel of experts at a meeting, or just reading about them in one of our publications.
What Do I Get with Membership?
You automatically become a member of LWV-Virginia and LWV of the United States. You will receive their electronic publications along with LWVLY's email bulletin, published approximately 10 times per year. You will have the knowledge that you are adding your voice to a powerful collection of members from all 50 states, Washington DC, the Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong.
Ready? It's time to join the LWV!
