This series offers civic engagement activities and lessons tailored for group leaders working with youth aged 5-18. . However, it is also versatile enough to be used in multi-generations or adult-focused settings. the lessons provide adaptations for the youngest members, while also offering enriching extensions and "deeper dive" activities for older youth. Designed to be facilitated by youth group leaders, including those who are youth themselves, these activities are user-friendly and do not necessitate any specific training or prior knowledge on the part of the leader

Kids Voting seeks for youth to have access to non-partisan reliable sources of information about our government systems and our elections, to have open and authentic dialogue with one another, and to be able to explore their role as citizens, not just in the future, but now. For this to happen, It is critical to create a space where youth feel valued, cared for, and respected. Civic learning should be representative of all youth and be relevant to their daily lives; it should lift up diverse student voices and draw on youths’ lived experiences and perspectives.
