Celebrating KVD's First Time Adult Voters!
Kids Voting Durham is a non-partisan effort to help youth under 18 understand and believe in the power they have as engaged citizens and informed voters.
Kids Voting Durham builds civic skills, knowledge, and agency & identity in Durham’s young people well before they turn 18. We nurture each of these elements through:
-
Educational Tools
KVD creates inclusive, hands-on lessons and activities for all ages & levels that are relevant to young people’s lives
-
Family Engagement
KVD provides parents & caregivers ways to make civic participation a family affair
-
Youth Voice
KVD offers youth and decision-makers the opportunity to interact with each other in ways that reinforce young people’s identity as powerful civic participants
-
Authentic Elections
Every election, youth under 18 can cast a ballot on the same candidates and issues as adults.
