Civic Issue: Lowering the Voting Age
Civic Issue: Lowering the Voting Age
Voted on by our members, this issue had 30% of our clubs' support. Lowering the voting age is particularly relevant to youth today, when increased access to resources allows them to be more educated and involved. Now more than ever, their involvement is necessary. Bringing youth into the world of voting by age 16 at the local level not only promotes lifelong voting habits but also more accurately represents the modernizing population. Together, we're laying the groundwork for higher voter engagement and awareness one young person at a time.
The importance of civic engagement
The importance of civic engagement
In today's world, it's easy to get wrapped up in heated, violent conversations about civic issues and label those we disagree with as enemies. Others distance themselves from civic issues to "keep the peace". At the CCC, we work to fight this polarization and disengagement at the root, teaching youth to have productive conversations, disagree respectfully, and build solutions together. Today's youth are tomorrow's workers, voters, and leaders, and we seek to empower them and provide them with the resources they need.
