What is the Kids Voting Mission?
To promote voter participation and to educate children
regarding the voting process. In partnership with families, schools,
elections officials and community leaders, kids visit official polls
on Election Day to cast their own ballot, accompanied by a parent
or guardian. Kids Voting serves to create an informed electorate;
increase adult voter turn-out; and develop lifetime voting habits
in youth. Kids Voting Boston is a program of Kids Voting Massachusetts,
an affiliate of Kids Voting USA which brings its mission to 5 million
students throughout the USA.
Kids Voting USA's Mission Statement:
"The mission of Kids Voting USA
is to foster an informed, participating electorate by educating
and actively engaging young people and their families in voting
and other elements of effective civic engagement."
