Youth Civic Engagement

The Youth Civic Engagement Fellowship offers students the opportunity to participate in the democratic process first-hand, and to gain valuable knowledge and skills by implementing initiatives that support this process. Under mentorship of the LWV of Lake Minnetonka Plymouth Area chapter, students learn how to organize and implement get-out-the-vote (GOTV) drives and candidate forums.
