Despite the energy generated by the 2008 presidential election, youth-voting participation remains low according to data collected by the Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University. Kids Voting Kansas teaches youth about civic duty and engagement with a grade-level-based curriculum that ranges from election-themed bulletin boards to discussions on voting barriers and creative expression.
Kids Voting Kansas aims to distribute election packages to local schools to spur an increase in voting and civic engagement among youth for future elections. Each package contains a variety of voting materials including personalized ballots and supplies for an election-viewing event. The voting materials will help schools mirror current elections to prepare students for their first real voting experience with hands-on activities. The program also encourages students to engage with current events by promoting news consumption and deliberative discussion.
Join G-Team and donate $10 to help encourage civic engagement among youth. If G-Team members raise $300, then Kids Voting Kansas can distribute three election packages to local schools with voting materials, ballots, and election-viewing supplies to teach youth about voting. Each additional $100 raised will fund another election package.
Unlike traditional Groupon deals, G-Team campaigns typically don't offer you a "discount" or "savings." So "buyer" beware—when you click "Buy" to donate your time or money to a worthwhile G-Team cause, the only discount you may receive is 100% off free, priceless karma. Read more about G-Team.
