Information for Students
Kids Voting Durham has many ways for middle- and high-school age students to help other young people understand and believe in the power they have as active citizens and informed voters. Students can volunteer as individuals or youth councils, classes, & clubs can take on a project as a group. Volunteers will receive support and materials from Kids Voting Durham. Many projects can be done at times and days chosen by the volunteer.
Inspire Others to Get Civically Involved, Informed, & Active
Create non-partisan candidate & issue guides, plan & implement candidate forums, or develop resources on democracy, youth action, & other civic topics. Student developed materials are distributed via the Kids Voting web page and throughout the school system & community. Help more of Durham’s young people understand government, elections, and how to be engaged in our community & make an impact!
Be a Kids Voting Leader
Serve on the youth-led KV-D Youth Advisory Council. Set priorities for Kids Voting’s work in Durham and organize events & actions that make sure the voices of Durham’s youth are heard by our elected officials and community leaders.
Get Out the Youth Vote
Manage and recruit volunteers for a Voter Registration drive at your high school or other location. Students who will be 18-year-olds by November 4, 2008 can register to vote now and can also vote in the May primary.
Youth at the Booth 2008
Manage a Kids Voting station at one of Durham’s 55 precincts on Election Day in November and help younger kids experience the power of voting. This is a great service learning opportunity.
