Current Opportunities for High School Students: Civic and Voting Activities

We are excited to help local youth with an interest in voting rights, policy and politics find ways to pursue those interests. If you are a Champaign County high school student 16 years or older you may apply to be a League of Women Voters of Champaign County Student Ambassador. If you know an eligible student you may nominate them to be an ambassador.

 See the Student Ambassadors Program page for more information on nominating or applying.
