What is Kids Voting?
Kids Voting is a non-partisan effort to help youth under 18 understand and believe in the power they have as engaged citizens and informed voters.
Kids Voting is all about building civic skills, knowledge, agency, and identity in youth. These elements are nurtured through:
- inclusive classroom lessons & tools that reflect youth’s interests & perspectives
- family engagement
- the opportunity for youth to interact with elected officials and the community in ways that reinforce their identity as voters and engaged citizens, and
- an authentic voting experience for all youth under 18 in every election.
The aim of Kids Voting is to create informed and active citizens and leaders, increase family communication and citizenship, encourage greater adult voter engagement and turnout, and much much more.
We thank our friends in Durham for pioneering the way with this excellent program! To learn more about what all is available with Kids Voting, visit the Kids Voting Durham site.
