About the League
"The League" is a general name for a family of organizations encompassing a 501(c)(3) non-profit, the League of Young Voters Education Fund; a 501(c)(4), The League of Young Voters; and LYV PAC, our Political Action Committee.
Our primary websites:
c3: youngvoter.org and 99problems.org
c4: theleague.com
PAC: theballot.org
The League is 8 years old and into its fourth generation of leadership. We operate on two related but distinct levels: 1.) as a national leadership team engaging with federal issues, political and nonpartisan alliances and top level field and communications planning; and 2.) our local affiliates, community based teams who engage in long term leadership development, issue campaigns and GOTV work. The National team provides leadership and best practices to the local affiliates, who operate with a degree of autonomy, although strategic coordination around elections or legislative action is frequent.
The League is a national non-profit comprised of community-based organizations working to engage young people who have been shut out of the political process. Our work in the field includes voter registration and mobilization, especially among "unlikely" voters; local, state, and federal level issue advocacy; electoral organizing, training and leadership development; and community and youth organizing to bring new voices to electoral politics. In 2010, we are launching an ambitious voter registration and engagement campaign to increase turnout in the Fall Midterm Elections.
