Youth Outreach Committee



LWV Sonoma County’s Youth Outreach Program engages Sonoma County youth in conversations
about their voting rights and how voting affects their everyday life. Our volunteers visit county
high schools, colleges and youth-serving organizations to educate, motivate and register
students to become informed voters

Since 2018, the LWV’s High School In-Classroom Voter Education & Voter Registration Program has been helping high school seniors understand the relationship between the voting process and their everyday lives. Our program ignites students’ interest in democracy and civic engagement and registers or pre-registers all eligible students to vote.

In the Fall 2024 semester, LWV members spoke to over 1600 students and registered or pre-registered more than more than 700 of them.

Feedback from teachers is very positive.

The League of Women Voters of Sonoma County do a great job engaging with my high school students and helping them register to vote. I utilize some of their resources throughout the year and students really appreciate how helpful the League members are with the voter registration process. I highly recommend this non-partisan group to appear in classes throughout Sonoma County!”
– KEVIN JACKSON, Government Teacher, Petaluma High School

Additionally, the Sonoma LWV Elections Ambassador Program offers college students the opportunity to learn how to register and pre-register their peers to vote. This program offers training so LWV Election Ambassadors can answer their peers’ questions about the importance of voting and using their voice.

Learn more about these valuable programs and how to participate by attending a Youth Outreach monthly virtual meeting on the third Tuesday of every month (time varies). For details about the next meeting, visit our Events Calendar.
