I started as an intern at the League of Women Voters of Los Angeles, and now serve on its Board of Directors and Chair its Membership Committee. I am honored to be one of handful of Iranian Women to have served the League, perhaps it's only Iranian board member and Chair for over 90 years.
I have had the privilege of meeting so many amazing women who have dedicated their lives in serving the League's mission of informing the public and empowering citizens through education and advocacy.
Through our work, we are honoring the legacy of incredible women who fought so valiantly for us to have the right to vote. The League of Women Voters of Los Angeles strives everyday to protect and honor the rights of those brave women and men that came before us, and who will come after us.

I am a current intern at the League of Women Voters Los Angeles , and the work the organization does, from educating highschoolers to advocating voting rights, is amazing. All board members, members, volunteers, and interns of the League work tirelessly for the entire community's good. My time spent interning so far has been so worthwhile, and I am excited to continue interning for them!

The League of Women Voters of Los Angeles provides the nonpartisan civic engagement necessary to understand tough issues. During my time as a volunteer, I became especially interested in the League's election management work, which included outreach and candidate recruitment for minority populations to serve on nonpartisan housing boards.
