Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours will I need to commit?
Time requirements vary by role. Volunteer hours range from a few hours a month up to 10 hours a week. See volunteer job descriptions for more information on time requirements for specific roles. Paid positions typically start at 10 hours a week and may go up to full time.
​
I’ve been out of the workforce for a long time and don’t feel I have experience or skills that are up to date. Can I still volunteer?
Absolutely! MWEG provides training and mentorship for all volunteers. We also believe the day-to-day life and leadership experiences of many women as mothers and community volunteers provide important skills. You are more prepared than you know.
​
What if I’m not very interested in politics?
MWEG is as much about building up and empowering women as it is about advocating for ethical government. We can use your talents regardless of how deeply interested you are in politics. If you are willing to offer your skills in local community building, administrative tasks, technology, or other roles, you are a good match for MWEG.
​
What kind of technology will I be required to use?
MWEG team members live and work all across the U.S. and world. We coordinate using an online project management system called Basecamp, which all volunteers should be prepared to learn and use. We also use Google products, such as Drive, Docs, Sheets, Forms, and Calendars. Virtual meetings may be held via Google Meet or Zoom. We offer training for these platforms, so you do not need to be an expert user before applying.
​
Do I have to be a Mormon (a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)?
No. Per our membership guidelines, you do not need to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as long as you don't mind that most of us are. We welcome all women who are willing to abide by our six principles of peacemaking and who are comfortable belonging to an organization that is guided by faith and informed by the teachings of Jesus Christ and the doctrines of the Church. All volunteers and contractors must be members of MWEG.
​
Do I have to be a woman?
Yes. MWEG is an organization founded by women, run by women, for women. Men can support our work by donating or sharing our resources with your networks.
