Who We Are |
Connect
As youth participation in formal democratic processes declines, youth and youth issues are increasingly left out of the political dialogue. We are creating and promoting events, online discussions and new media that is removing barriers to youth civic engagement. Connecting youth with community leaders and each other; amplifying our voices in this important conversation. Educate Being informed is essential in a democracy. We aim to shed light on our democratic history, present and future. By understanding our democracy, we can use it to make society better Participate A healthy democracy requires participation. It’s about more than voting, it’s having discussions, taking part in community forums, staying informed, participating in activism and doing things that improve our communities. We will encourage, create and promote every spectrum of opportunity for youth to participate |
What We Do |
Its four-point program agenda consist of: 1) voters’ registration; 2) on-the-ground voters’ education and engagement; 3) an online portal for comprehensive candidate information; and 4) the development of a youth agenda for policy-making and action.
What do we want to achieve? YouthVoteZim2018 gives Zimbabweans, particularly the youth who comprise majority of the voting population, the tools to make an educated vote that they can stand for. The group aims to give credible and comprehensive information and does not and will not tell people whom to vote for. How can young Zimbabweans help/join the campaign? You and your friends can contribute by helping the campaign in various ways. You can start from registering and continuing by getting involved in our activities.
