Show Notes

You can't turn on the news these days without hearing about the election coming up this Fall. The national and local elections are so important, and getting young people to engage in the electoral process is crucial. My guest today is a Ava Mateo, a young adult who is the Executive Director of 18byvote which is a non-partisan youth-led organization that helps 16, 17, and 18-year-olds understand how, when, and why to vote, ensuring equitable access to civic participation for everyone.

Ava is also an intern at the Riley's Way Foundation.
