LEARN. PARTICIPATE. VOTE!

Preparing kids for a lifetime of active civic engagement and supporting K-12 academic achievement

More than a mock vote, Kids Voting Mecklenburg is a non-partisan nonprofit (501c3) program educating elementary, middle and high school students about civic engagement and government through an effective combination of:

  • Standards-based curriculum
  • Exciting community civic activities
  • Interaction with public officials
  • Community service-learning
  • Authentic election experiences

Kids Voting is unique, it’s fun and it works.   A national leader in civic education, Kids Voting USA gets students involved and ready to be educated, engaged citizens.  Students learn about democracy through a combination of classroom activities, an authentic voting experience and family dialogue.

High-quality instructional materials provide K-12 teachers with valuable civic learning tools to be used throughout the school year, every year.  In addition to classroom activities about voting and elections, students also explore the right to vote, democracy and active citizenship.

Kids Voting Mecklenburg is truly a community commitment to democracy. It’s all made possible through the support of a network of Charlotte-Mecklenburg community partners including schools, election officials, business and community leaders, and volunteers.
