Protect Open Government – Join Our Observer Corps!
Want to learn how local government works and support transparency? Join the Observer Corps! Volunteers attend public meetings, take notes, and share observations with the League to help keep government open and accountable.
Why it matters: Local decisions shape our schools, neighborhoods, safety, and environment. When residents show up, officials know they’re accountable.
No previous experience required—just curiosity and commitment. And of course, we will train you!
