ServiceVote is YSA's U.S. election-year campaign to engage young people, ages 5-25, in the political proccess by connecting with their peers, voters, and candidates.
ServiceVote challenges young people to learn more about our government and political system and to think critically about how they can affect the issues that they work to address through service during elections.
Designed for both voting age and non-voting age youth, ServiceVote seeks to teach civic engagement with real world, actionable items that offer a variety of ways to get involved in the elections and to make a difference.
Since 2012 is a presidential election year in the United States, Global Youth Service Day 2012 is a great opportunity for U.S. project organizers to plan a ServiceVote 2012 project.
