YVote/Next Gen Politics aims to spark a youth social movement through which young people connect their passions and beliefs with how they can make a difference, at and beyond the ballot box. The organization strives to do this through bringing together racially, economically, and politically diverse youth to questions of “why vote?” alongside additional ways they can make a positive impact in their communities and more broadly. Their youth grapple with complex civic issues and current events in order to equip them to be informed, engaged citizens and change-makers.
