The ACLU of Washington is privileged to have hundreds of dedicated volunteers help us out every year. Indeed, the ACLU relies on individuals who care passionately about civil liberties and are committed to doing something to make sure the Bill of Rights is more than just a piece of paper. We couldn’t do our work of defending and extending liberty without their efforts!
Volunteers work with the ACLU for many different reasons and in many different ways. Volunteers help with our public events in the community and provide information at our tables. In our office, they help with mailings, answer phones and greet people at our front desk, and – with special training – answer our legal intake lines. Without these individuals, the ACLU of WA could not have the reach and scope that it does.
We hear from our volunteers that they like the friendly atmosphere at our office and being around others who care about issues close to their hearts. They enjoy learning more about our issues and how the ACLU does its vital work. And of course, they feel the personal satisfaction that comes from being part of the ACLU team.
If you too would like to experience firsthand what happens behind the scenes, the ACLU of WA office is currently looking to build the ranks of its Volunteer Reception Team. For more information and to see all volunteer opportunities, please go here.
