 The 2008-2009 school year was the first year of the Kids Voting Youth Council. Representatives of all Kids Voting High Schools are invited to join together to learn about democracy and help guide the activities of Kids Voting of Central Ohio.
Students selected will help shape Kids Voting projects and events and have unique opportunities to meet with community leaders and elected officials.
The Youth Council meets the third Thursday of each month from noon until 1:30 P.M. in downtown Columbus.
