ServiceVote, a program of Youth Service America, is proud to announce the launch of a new, interactive website that will serve as a hub for young people to engage in every aspect of the ’08 election. The ServiceVote website provides young people with up-to-date news & information on the various races, the presidential candidates, and the defining issues; opportunities for peer interaction & dialogue through a discussion forum where youth can post videos, images, and audio files; and resources to take action through service, in the election, and in the policy process.
At ServiceVote, look for YSA’s Nine for 09: The Nine Ways for the Next President to Strengthen Youth Service When Taking Office in 2009. (www.servicevote.org/images/nine%20for%20%2709%20memo.pdf)
The site will be continually updated throughout 2008 with new information, tools & resources, so visit www.servicevote.org now and check back often!
Campus Compact www.compact.org/vote?r=members
As part of Campus Compact’s 2008 Campus Vote Initiative, we’ve launched a new website to encourage students to take part in the upcoming elections. The site features voter registration and education resources, ways to connect service with civic engagement, strategies for encouraging democratic participation, and model campus programs.
The site also offers hands-on tools and templates for students, faculty, and community service staff as well as information on other nonpartisan democracy initiatives.
