Community Conversations
Event Date: 
09/15/2022 - 11:00am to 12:00pm
Event location: 

Via Zoom

Leagues are stuck in the simple and sometimes effective mode of tabling at schools and entering classrooms to register students to vote. We have not done enough to emphasize the "engage" portion of our mission. Too often we think that these old methods are enough when they are not.Four Leagues from around the Bay gather via Zoom to discuss how their outreach to youth voters has changed and how they encourage them to register or pre-register to vote and become engaged in the process.

The Leagues of Palo Alto; Oakland and Fremont, Newark, Union City present a variety of methods deployed to engage high school students in our democratic process.
