GIRLS CAN VOTE TOO!
Girls Can Vote Too! is more than is a voter registration and education program. This is a MOVEMENT that aims to empower young women by providing them with the knowledge and tools to actively participate in the voting process. Through engaging workshops, we educate girls on the importance of voting, the electoral system, and the impact their voices can have on shaping their communities. Our program covers topics such as voter registration procedures, understanding ballot measures, and researching candidates. We also emphasize the significance of informed decision-making by encouraging critical thinking and analyzing different perspectives. By fostering a sense of civic responsibility and equipping them with the necessary information, we aim to inspire a new generation of politically engaged and informed young women who can confidently exercise their right to vote.
