The program focused on empowering young people to be involved in politics, candidate identification in low-income communities and communities of color, and built a network for future voter engagement programming. This funding supported a small board of community organizers to begin making steps towards an established and recognized organization. NORC will continue to advocate for just and equitable policies, be involved in voter engagement, and be a beacon for bringing the community to the table.
