Simple Serve

This is a project to encourage Seniors and eligible Juniors at the High Schools to vote during election time in the Fall. The process involves the following steps that can be taken on by volunteers at the High School: 1. Bring the registration papers to their focus and help them become voters.  This process involves getting in touch with the high school authorities to take permission, publicize about the sign-up program and be ready to register the students during school hours. 2. Another aspect of this process would be to create videos to explain the mechanics of voting and the importance of it on how to do it while in the voting booth. 3. An added initiative would be- if most students are going to be in college the following year, then they will need to be made aware of the process of voting by mail. All this in an effort to boost civic participation at a young age.

The sources I get my info from are the library, the community centers, the senior centers, educational institutions and the municipal office in Montgomery. It is one thing to be a part of the community and it is another matter to belong and be social in it. The blog is about creating and talking about projects that the community and especially the youth can be involved in for community service. Many High Schools do not have community service as a requirement for credit but it is a useful way to occupy a mind, involve in helping others and more than anything else- being part of the society in which one already belongs. Here you will find many ideas for projects that can be taken up. ********************************** number of the day 582,000 on 2/15/12 That's how many young people raised their hands -not just that- but applied to se...
