🤝 Volunteer with the League of Women Voters of Ocean County

Democracy is not a spectator sport—and here in Ocean County, we believe in showing up. Whether you have a few hours a month or want to dive into leadership, there’s a place for you in the League.
Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our work: registering voters, educating communities, advocating for policy change, and building a more inclusive, informed electorate.

We welcome all who share our commitment to nonpartisan civic engagement.
