Democracy isn’t just about voting. It’s about understanding power, using your voice, and building something with people who don't always agree with you.
Through WeVote Next, we offer classroom-ready programs from kindergarten through college that give students real-world experience with government and civic participation.
Students learn to ask harder questions, listen with intention, and practice the skills of citizenship – because democracy isn’t something to prepare for someday. It’s something we build together, starting today.
We offer an interactive Democracy for Kids program for K-8 students that helps them practice basic civic skills, like respectful listening, creative inquiry and thinking, and community problem-solving.
For high schoolers, our Elections & Voting curriculum is a starting point for multiple programs that allow young and future voters to engage with their community. We have many FREE programs that educators and students can participate in to understand and practice engaged citizenship. Check them out!
