ABOUT THE YOUNG VOTE
The Young Vote is an inspirational look at opportunities for increasing civic engagement in America’s youth through the stories of youth engagement initiatives around the country. It is is a story about unleashing civic power, shaping the future of America, and preserving the promise of democracy by carrying forward a generation’s work from the streets to the polls, and back again.
The Community Foundation is eager to support this inspiring movie both as encouragement for young people in Fairfield County to get involved and as a resource for local schools, communities and organizations.
