Our future depends upon the next generations of leaders who not only are capable of participating in productive ways, but who are empowered and inspired to be informed, engaged global citizens committed to making meaningful change in the world.
Clark Votes
Clark Votes is a collaborative initiative to support students in voter registration, voter education, developing a voter plan, voting, and processing decisions made that impact the country and our world.
