Start Where You Are.
Use What You Have.
Do What You Can.
Change starts at the local level. Whether you can volunteer one time or on an ongoing basis we welcome your help! If you are concerned about our community, state and country – We encourage you to take action. Check out our committees and their volunteering needs below. If you have time we can use it! If you’d like to share your talents and skills, we will put you to work!
Legislation and Education Committee
Our Legislation and Education committee works to make a difference in local and state issues. If there is an issue or bill on the table that we need to either support or fight – we are on top of it! We attend meetings, do the research to really know what is truly in it, and then we get to work. The committee’s outreach team strategically calls and emails our legislators and spreads the word within our club when it’s time to make some noise!
