SLWG gives additional benefits to our Members of Distinction, members who volunteer. MODs are eligible to be featured in their own Spotlights, and they can have their books featured in our monthly MOD book selection. Additionally, they will be honored at an awards ceremony and listed as a Member of Distinction on our website and in our newsletters.

Volunteers don't necessarily need to live near St. Louis. SLWG has service opportunities in various areas, including opportunities to work from home while using the Internet. Members who are interested in service opportunities should fill out our volunteer form.
