Welcome to Kids Voting Shakopee!




 

 
   
Kids Voting Basics
Founded in 2004, Kids Voting Shakopee is a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization dedicated to educating young people about the importance of voting.  The program is unique because it combines civic learning in the classroom with an authentic voting experience that reflects the adult process.  The hands-on learning activities teach students how to be educated and engaged voters.  On Election Day, students go to the polls with their parents and cast a special ballot on the same candidates and issues as adults.
Kids Voting Mission
Kids Voting is working to secure the future of democracy by preparing young people to be educated and engaged voters.  Through Kids Voting, students learn more about the concepts of civic responsibility, democracy, and the importance of an informed vote.  While their votes don't impact the official election outcome, students learn that they have the power to shape the future by their political engagement and civic involvement.
