Join Us

When you join the League of Women Voters of Naperville you add your voice to the group of women and men in your community who empower voters and defend democracy.

League of Women Voters Naperville is a grassroots organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, and works to influence public policy through education and advocacy.

The League is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government. The League works to influence public policy through citizen education and advocacy.

We are proud that our organization is fully committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion – breaking down barriers to full participation in this organization on the basis of gender, gender identity, ethnicity, race, nave or indigenous origin, age, generation, sexual orientation, culture, religion, belief system, marital status, parental status, socioeconomic status, language, accent, ability status, mental health, educational level or background, geography, nationality, work style, work experience, job role function, thinking style, personality type, physical appearance, political perspective or affiliation and/or any other characteristic that can be identified as recognizing or illustrating diversity.

It’s up to you. Some of our members just want to support the league with their annual dues. Others want to stay informed and join us at our events such as candidate forums, environmental programs, and other educational and position based programs.
