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.
