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.
Simple Serve is about community service options close to home. I look at what's out there to volunteer for and update the blog. This blog is like a clearinghouse for projects. I get my info from the library, the community centers, the senior centers, educational institutions and the municipal office. It is one thing to be a part of the community and it is another matter to belong and be social in it.
