  • LWVUS Young People Task Force

    The Young People Task Force (YPTF) was created as a collaborative effort between LWVUS President Elisabeth MacNamara and LWVUS staff in response to Leagues’ desire to attract the next generation of League leaders. 

    The LWVUS YPTF mission is to seek ways to increase the LWV long-term membership sustainability by recruiting the next generation of League members.

    The YPTF was created with these three distinct goals in mind:

    • Gathering information about why young people join the League of Women Voters
    • Creating a tool-kit for local Leagues to directly recruit and engage young professionals in their communities
    • Creating a community for young professional League members (and utilizing this community to help move the League into the 21st century)

LWVUS plays an important part – and so do all of you! PMP covers 23% of the cost programs in the LWVUS/LWVEF budget.
