Core Values
Our Story
Grow The Vote began with a simple idea: students are more likely to engage in democracy when they understand it early and clearly.
What started as a student-led effort to bring voter education into local schools has grown into broader initiative working with high schools across New Jersey. We saw a gap in civic knowledge and a lack of accessible, nonpartisan education about how voting actually works, and we set out to change that.
Today, Grow The Vote partners with schools and student organizations to deliver civic education presentations, support voter registration for eligible students, and create opportunities for young people to feel informed.
