ABOUT
The Voter Information Education Workshop is an engaging day-long experience designed to foster empowering dialogues that encourage civic participation and responsibility.
Participants delve into crucial topics, such as voting rights and election integrity, aimed at demystifying the democratic process and emphasizing the importance of informed voting. This workshop aims to cultivate a more informed, engaged, and diverse community to drive change.
MISSION
Scheduled during homecoming season, Votecoming is a partnership between NULYP’s advocacy and membership departments. It is designed to engage young professionals in the movement and their civic duties. With a focus on registering voters and getting young people to the ballot, this event will build awareness about the advocacy work NULYP chapters do around the country. In addition, this event will prompt collaboration that should be mirrored between YP chapter leadership to bring education about NULYP and our membership for all events that engage non-YP members.
