Kids Voting Durham is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that aims to help our community's youth understand and believe in the power they have as active citizens and informed voters. We foster involved, well-informed citizens and future voters by educating and involving young people and their families in voting and other elements of effective civic engagement. Students learn about and experience democracy through a combination of classroom and community activities, an authentic voting experience, and community & family dialogue.
Kids Voting Durham’s work is made possible through its
partnerships within the Durham community including schools, teachers, election
officials, businesses, community leaders, and a
corps
of hundreds of dedicated volunteers. These partnerships, the support
Durham County, and the resources provided by Kids Voting USA enable Kids
Voting Durham to
be a very cost-effective organization, providing educational and voting
experiences to over 35,000 Durham County K-12 students for less than $1
per child.
