Young Voter Services

We focus on a peer-to-peer approach to register DC residents who are of high school and college-age, working with organizations whose mission is to encourage civic engagement for that age group, especially those organizations that work in underrepresented wards of the District. We brainstorm with our partners and the young people they serve to develop marketing approaches that appeal to that age group, provide training and assist with registration.  We also work with them to organize special events, such as candidate forums run by youth, to focus on issues of relevance to them.
