Maud Wood Park founded the College Equal Suffrage League in 1900 with Inez Haynes in order to get younger, more well educated women involved in the suffrage movement.
Their particular aim was to get college alumnae to form chapters and organize women at their alma maters.
In 1904, Harriot Eaton Stanton Blatch and Caroline Lexow invited them to set up college leagues throughout New York state.
In 1906, the National American Woman Suffrage Association invited the College Equal Suffrage League to initiate similar organizations throughout the country.

Maud Wood Park was also one of the founders of the Boston Equal Suffrage Association for Good Government (BESAGG) along with Pauline Agassiz Shaw and Mary Hutcheson Page.
She and Page were in charge of decision making and public speaking.
The BESAGG turned into The League of Women Voters after women got the right to vote in 1920.
Maud Wood Park also became the president of The League of Women Voters in 1920.
During her time in this position (until 1924), she traveled the US to lecture and recruit for new members and she helped develop the legislative agenda.
Park said of the aim of The League of Women Voters, "It has chosen to be a middle-of-the-road organization in which persons of widely differing political views might work out together a program of definite advance on which they could agree.
It has been willing to go ahead slowly in order to go ahead steadily.
It has not sought to lead a few women a long way quickly, but rather to lead many women a little way at a time."

Maud Wood Park helped organize and head the Women's Joint Congressional Committee which passed the Sheppard–Towner Maternity and Infancy Protection Act of 1921 and the Cable Act in 1922.
