Formal Education: Engaging students in democratic processes to encourage voter registration and participation from age 18.

Adult and Community Education: Reaching out to a diverse and passionate audience of adult learners across the country.

Groups Experiencing Barriers: Improving democratic participation by addressing barriers and providing access to information.
