Overview

Kids Voting USA’s mission is to help young people become educated, engaged citizens.  And, education starts in the classroom with a unique civic learning experience.

Students who participate in Kids Voting USA activities learn how to gather information, think critically and make decisions.  They also learn important collaboration skills as well as respect for differing points of view – skills useful not only for civic participation but also for life.
