PREPARING FUTURE VOTERS 

PFV is a promise taken by K12 school and district leaders to: 
Recognize the role of teaching about voting and elections in creating a more informed citizenry; and to
​Pledge to strengthen elections and voting instruction in their schools. Signers of the pledge will have the opportunity to join a cohort of school leaders who will receive access to monthly programming from June through December, 2023, including workshops, panel discussions, and curated elections and voting instructional resources.

The Pledge:

I hereby recognize:

1. The responsibility of schools to offer students an education that prepares them become engaged members of their communities, and
   
2. that an integral part of growing lifelong civic participants and voters involves teaching young people explicitly about elections and voting. 
   

Given such, I commit to providing my teachers, staff, and students the leadership and support to facilitate and/or engage in these important elections- and voting-related learning opportunities, including some or all of the following:

• In-class (or homework) content related to elections or voting. 
  
• Classroom discussion, with a commitment to creating space for disagreement,
  
• Civic participation through experiential  learning
  
• Media literacy skill development 
  
• Voter registration or pre-registration opportunities 
  
• Teacher support and resources
  

I acknowledge the importance of students learning about elections and voting. I pledge my leadership, coaching, and support to teachers in engaging students in learning about elections and voting.
