Youth Empowered Action (YEA) Camp is a life-changing camp for world-changing teens!
Getting other people to vote and raising money for campaigns so that they can get even more people out to vote for your favorite candidates. And you can help, regardless of your age or registration status. From big things like interning on a campaign to small things like talking to your family, here are 10 ideas to do just that. We are proud to include several that teens from YEA Camp, our summer camp for social change, have been doing around the country.
1. Educate yourself on the candidates and the issues.
2. Talk to the 18-and-over folks in your life (family members, friends, neighbors) about the election.
3. Get your opinions out there for others to see.
4. Phone-bank, write, or text.
5. Help get people registered to vote and help get them to the polls.
6. Ask your teachers to make class time for discussion about the candidates and what students can do.
7. Swag.
8. Intern or volunteer for a campaign.
9. Fund-raise for a campaign or organization.
10. Use your personal skills and passions to help your candidate.
If you or someone you know is 12-17 and passionate about social justice and making a difference in the world, join us at YEA Camp this summer! YEA Camp is a summer camp for social change, where each camper chooses their issue of importance (IOI) that they want to focus on and develop the knowledge, skills, confidence, and community to take their passions to the next level in bringing about the change we so badly need. And you’ll make incredible friends and have so much fun. See the details at YEACamp.org. We even have a camp for adults too!
