Kids Voting USA

Kids Voting USA is a nonpartisan, grassroots-driven voter education program committed to creating lifelong voting habits in children, increasing family communication about citizenship, and encouraging greater adult voter turnout. Kids Voting USA relies on its over twenty-five year history (since 1988), continual feedback from educators, and experience of their Affiliates when developing the model to implement programming. The programming model operates with five key components:

1. Evidence based curricula for grade levels K-12, that offer easily implemented, interactive lessons at no cost to the schools;
2. Choice of mock election processes to meet the individualized needs of the schools (paper ballots, electronic voting software, and/or a combination of both);
3. Activities involving families in teaching their children their own voting values;
4. Educator support through local Affiliates to provide assistance with ballot creation, volunteers for activities, and resources needed for teaching civic lessons and creating voting habits; and
5. Continuing research on impact and effectiveness.
