Please see YouTube video above.
Our program works with students with Wyandotte High School and the Wyandotte County Election Office in many different ways. One way is to bring elections to the students so they can learn what it's like to vote and have a mock election. Another way is to recruit student election workers that way and bring them into training so they can work on Election Day. It started out with about eight students the first year and has grown to about twenty over the last three years. We pair students and teachers together at different polling places throughout the county. We always see the same people come back to work because the students really enjoy working elections. We will expand more and more throughout the years as we continue to grow! It's an amazing program and has helped with getting positions filled for elections.
