Youth Video and Graphics

 This page displays a variety of videos and graphics for local youth that encourage their civic engagement.  This collection is maintained by the Youth Outreach and Civic Engagement (YOCE) team of LWVCC.  Since high schools have moved to online learning and most people are working in electronic mode, it is our hope that these videos and graphics will be downloaded and widely shared to increase youth participation and civic engagement. 

These items are the result of  collaboration with local high schools, the NAACP/ACT-SO project and  the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Champaign-Urbana Alumnae Chapter.  For more information, see Sponsoring Projects section below.


Videos

 Check out these  youth videos  on the League's YouTube page.   Feel free to share these links on  your social media, especially sites that young people will see.

Sponsoring Projects

Why Vote? Student Video Challenge
The League's Youth Outreach and Civic Engagement (YOCE) team sponsored a Student Video Challenge to engage high school students to develop videos to encourage other students to vote and participate in the November 3, 2020 election.  YOCE reviewed national data of young voters and found that they pay most attention to positive voting messages from their peers. 

ACT-SO Videos
Guided by Dr. Barbara Gillespie of NAACP-Champaign County, ACT-SO students and alumni created videos encouraging young people to vote.  ACT-SO stands for Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics. 

Delta Sigma Theta Alumnae Chapter / NAACP
The YOCE Team collaborated with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Champaign-Urbana Alumnae Chapter and NAACP-Champaign County to promote high school students  registering to vote and serving as election judges.  This collaboration resulted in emails being sent to high schools with social media graphics to share with students and teachers. 

Questions? 

Send any questions about the Youth Video and Graphics to info@lwvchampaigncounty.org with "Youth" in the subject line.
