Supporting Kids Voting Kansas
Kids Voting Kansas, a part of the Kids Voting USA program, encourages civic participation by allowing children to vote in the polls with their parents. It is a program that has little cost, but immeasurable benefits. Expansion of this program into more school districts is important to J.R. as it is to many Kansans. J.R. has served as a volunteer for the Kids Voting Kansas program, helping kids learn the elections process by voting along with their parents.
In addition to expansion of the Kids Voting Kansas program, J.R. believes that schools need to return to teaching civics in the classroom. A strong foundation of community involvement combined with participation in the Kids Voting Kansas program will give children a strong sense of community.
Encouraging our children to be a part of our communities will both strengthen communities through participation and increase voter registration and turnout. Civic responsibility starts at home and should be reinforced at school. Participation in elections and civic groups is key to making our communities the envy of the world.
