PA Youth Vote (PAYV) and The Civics Center (TCC) are thrilled to announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding under which the two organizations will collaborate in an effort to bring a transformational increase in youth political participation and voter registration to up-and-coming voters in Pennsylvania.
PAYV is a nonpartisan collaboration of youth, educators, and organizations working to elevate youth voices, improve public school civics education, and empower youth as civic actors.
TCC is a national nonprofit, nonpartisan organization with a mission to make voter registration part of every high school in America.
The MOU allows the two organizations to expand their capacity for nonpartisan programming focused on high school civic engagement and voter registration, as well as information gathering and analysis and the creation of data-driven solutions to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and to reduce duplication of effort.
“This MOU is part of TCC’s commitment to supporting state and local organizing partners that have deep ties with students and educators in their communities and that want to bring data-driven solutions to improve voter registration and civic engagement in underserved communities. PAYV has shown unwavering commitment to bringing high-quality nonpartisan programming to the communities they serve.”
—Laura W. Brill, founder and CEO of The Civics Center
“With this MOU, PAYV will be able to reach more students and educators with more innovative, student-centered programming and to serve the communities most in need of engagement. Collaborating with national partners like TCC that work with communities across the country gives us access to resources and innovations that will expand our efforts.”
—Angelique Hinton, Executive Director of PA Youth Vote
