A NEW WAY TO GET ENGAGED

If we want to see progressive change, we have to be educated on the issues affecting our local communities, mobilize around candidates that support our ideas, and connect our movements.

To help our generation achieve this, we have created a new model for youth civic engagement. Our three-pronged approach is simple:

THE
GENVOTE
STRATEGY

Educate.

We provide the tools for young people to change the outcomes of elections. We will realize the potential of our generation through innovative training on community organizing, leadership development, research/policy development, and electoral politics.

Mobilize.

We will empower our generation by mobilizing support for progressive candidates that endorse our local Youth Platforms. Through our collective power, we will transform local political landscapes by using colleges, universities and high schools as mobilizing centers for local GenVote teams.

Connect.

We will create a network of Generation Vote teams across the country. Our teams will connect and learn from other energetic, innovative and eager youth leaders working on policies and campaigns across your region.
