"Kids Voting Minneapolis" Seeks Ward 1 Volunteers

HELP OUR STUDENTS VOTE ON ELECTION DAY

Since 2004, in partnership with the Minneapolis Public Schools and the Minneapolis City Elections Department, Kids Voting Minneapolis (KVM) has offered Minneapolis K-12 students the opportunity to go to the polls on Election Day with their parents and vote. Students vote in their own voting booth on their own ballot and get rewarded with their “I Voted” sticker. This authentic voting experience furthers civic education and helps students understand the important right and responsibility of voting in this democracy. 

For this to happen, KVM needs 300 community volunteers who staff the 123 city precinct polling places to assist students as they vote. We are still in need of volunteers in Ward 1 polling places. This is a wonderful, one-off volunteer opportunity, just 3 hours (2:00-5:00 or 5:00-8:00 p.m.) on Election Day, plus a convenient 1 hr. training session, and it’s fun. If you could help, just go to www.bit.ly/KVM2014 and fill out the simple Google form or contact the KVM Volunteer Coordinator, Sarah Williams at sarah@kidsvotingminneapolis.org.
