Our programs and resources at your school
Civic education and leadership programs are available to teachers and
students in every Mecklenburg County school, homeschool and youth program. This
connection is made possible through school partnerships and the outstanding
efforts of School Representatives.
School representatives connect their schools to provide a critical link
between classrooms, teachers, students, parents and our programs. Teachers are
nominated or designated by their schools to lead civic learning activities there
- they are invaluable members of our team!
School Representative roles

resources and learning opportunities

21st century learning

How is my school involved in civic learning?
- If a teacher has been nominated to serve as a School Representative, contact
that teacher and find out what he/she has planned for the year, and how you can
support those efforts.
- If your school does not have a representative named, encourage your
principal to involve your school in our programs. All schools in the county are
eligible and have been invited. Contact us (704-343-6999 or
info@kidsvoting.org) for information about this process.
- In middle and high school, the School Representative is usually a social
studies or history teacher. In elementary school, the School Representatives
cover a variety of grades and subjects.
