Young Voter Services 

We use a peer-to-peer approach to engage young DC residents (16-27 years), working with organizations whose mission is to encourage civic engagement for that age group, especially organizations that work with youth in District communities that are underrepresented in voting. We provide training and assist with voter registration and organize special events to focus on issues that matter most to young people.

Young Voter Toolkit 
This guide provides information specific to young people who are learning about the importance of voting and how to vote.
