Voting


Click here to see all results for this topic Service-learning is a tool that can be used to teach about voting and the political process and increase civic and political engagement among students.  These resources provide ideas for and research on voting-related service-learning projects for K-12 and higher education students.
June 2008 (Updated January 2009)
  
Learn and Serve America funded service-learning grants are an excellent way to teach about voting and the political process. However, any activity designed to influence the outcome of an election to any public office is prohibited by Learn and Serve America grant provisions. Additionally, under the Learn and Serve America Higher Education Program grant provisions neither participants nor staff may engage in voter registration drives while charging time to the program or engaging in programmatic activities supported by Learn and Serve Higher Education grant funds. You are advised to check first with your program officer before engaging in any political education service-learning activity whenever you are uncertain of the permissibility.
