Get Involved with the Northwestern Branch

Would you like to become more involved with the ACLU? Consider volunteering with the Northwestern Branch or running for election to the Board of Directors.

Any dues-paying ACLU member is eligible to run for the local board of directors. Members of the board are required to:

  • Attend a monthly business meeting of the board;
  • Participate in committee work including but not limited to social committees, event committees, outreach committees and membership recruitment committees; and
  • Represent the ACLU at local meetings or functions as necessary.

Board members should have a strong commitment to a range of civil liberties and civil rights issues. No particular educational or professional background is required. Gender, racial/ethnic, and religious diversity, as well as ability, sexual orientation, age and experience as an immigrant are just some forms of diversity that are important to us in maintaining a vibrant, active board.

Don't have time to participate on a board or simply prefer to be active in other ways? We can always use the help of volunteers for our activities and events. Regular volunteer activities include staffing ACLU information tables at local fairs and festivals, helping organize educational events and more.
