In this installment of our Vote 16 series, host Junius Williams talks with Jennifer Made, Director of Youth Programs at the Abbott Leadership Institute, about how Newark’s 16- and 17-year-olds are preparing to vote in school board elections for the first time. Jennifer shares how Youth Media Symposium (YMS) is mobilizing students with a voter education toolkit, advocacy training, and other resources to ensure they’re informed and ready.
But with just weeks until Election Day, will young voters be organized or just registered? And what does this mean for the future of civic engagement? As Jennifer puts it, “When young people realize they have power, they start using it.” Tune in to hear how this movement is reshaping youth activism and democracy.
