Making Democracy Accessible to the Next Generation
Student-led Civic Education and Voter Registration events are creating real momentum at local high schools! Our Friday lunch series has drawn impressive crowds of 70-75 students each session who actively participate in educational games, engage in meaningful civic discussions, and take concrete steps toward democratic participation.
- Completing voter registration forms
- Pre-registering for future elections
- Filling out "It's Time to Vote" reminder cards for our follow-up program
The initiative's sustainability is particularly exciting. Our student leader has built a team of 8-10 dedicated junior students who will carry this work forward next year, creating lasting impact and peer-to-peer civic engagement.
Looking ahead: High School Voter Education Weeks run April 14-25. Watch for upcoming announcements about volunteer opportunities to support this vital work connecting young citizens with their democratic power.
