The Youth Voting Summit, hosted by Maine Students Vote and sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Maine, is just around the corner. Youth leaders, elected officials, and civic organizations from across the state will come together for a day of skill-building and connecting. Together, we'll expand our knowledge of Maine’s government, and learn about citizen’s initiatives, relational organizing, and advocacy.
Do you know a young person who is making change in your community? Do you want to build your organizing or advocacy skills? Curious about how to engage more young people in your community in voting? Join us! Educators are welcome! Students are welcome! Young people from across Maine are welcome!

Every year Maine Students Vote hosts the Youth Voting Summit where young organizers come together to grow and connect. Last year, this event brought together more than 15 different civic organizations that ran workshops, shared their resources, and networked with over 75 students. $250 covers the stipend for a Youth Facilitator, and $100 covers students' travel expenses.
