Schools and Campuses
If you’re a college student, teacher, or campus staff member, you’re part of a community that helps shape the future every single day. And this year, many students will be casting their very first vote.
That’s more than a milestone: it’s a moment of impact! Your voice, your vote, and your example help guide your campus, your community, and your generation forward.
Young voter turnout has been rising steadily, 11% from 2016 to 2020, showing that Gen Z is one of the most engaged generations in decades. And when students, educators, and staff all show up, that momentum grows even stronger. Make your plan, vote early, and encourage others around you to do the same.
Let’s make history together this election season!
