CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES
                                  



The Opportunity Listings page allows you to view the volunteering opportunities that are currently available. Those marked JCC are sponsored by the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder’s office and governed by their Volunteer Code of Conduct. (link to doc) Volunteers at JCC events must be careful not to identify as League members or distribute League materials. Those marked LWV are sponsored by the Jeffco League. Volunteers at League events can wear League branded items and distribute League materials from our Voter Service kits.

You can filter the opportunities that you see by specifying one or more search values and clicking the "Search" button. The system will display matching opportunities. We recommend that you search by date.  If no search value is specified, all current opportunities will be displayed.  If there are more than 10 matching items, use the Paging controls to see additional pages.

JOIN THE VOTER SERVICE TEAM

Work with a group of impassioned individuals dedicated to protecting and promoting equitable elections by:
  • Providing accurate, unbiased, non-partisan information on ballot issues, candidates and elections; and
  • Encouraging maximum voter participation in Jefferson County.

Help with upcoming candidate forums, ballot pamphlet initiatives, Vote 411, voter registration and education and more.

This is an ongoing opportunity. Through the November election we’ll be hosting weekly check-in meetings on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. We hope to keep these meetings to 30 minutes or less.

BE ON THE LEGISLATIVE ACTION COMMITTEE

LWV watches and seeks to influence Colorado legislation. Are you interested in what laws are being proposed in the CO General Assembly by our state senators and representatives? If, so, please consider joining the Legislative Action Committee (LAC). Committee members are encouraged to follow legislation on issues that are of special interest to you -- affordable housing, health care, voting rights, etc. The information is reported back to LWV Jeffco members and is used to formulate action plans.

The Committee also plans and schedules the annual Meet the Jefferson County Legislators event in late November.
The Colorado Legislature meets from January to May.  The committee will meet approximately once a month via zoom.  A training session is tentatively planned for November or December.

BE IN THE EYEWITNESS/OBSERVER CORPS

Watching what happens at local meetings strengthens democracy. LWV Jeffco wants to have league members at County Commissioner meetings, School Board meetings, City Council meetings (Arvada, Evergreen, Lakewood, Littleton, Wheat Ridge and Westminster).  As much or as little as you can, we want your eyes and ears!  Attend a meeting, either in person or on zoom. Wear your observer badge/name tag or add LWV to your identification. Then, report back what is going on -- especially the topics important to LWV.  Your report should be short, 2-3 sentences.
Please contact coordinator below for Observer Information & Training.
