USHLI Voter Registration Hits
57,560! No organization
registers more voters on less money than USHLI!
|
Our 21st Century Leaders Internship program continues to set the national standard for mixing public policy and civic engagement. In addition to engaging members of Congress, state legislators, county and city officials in discussions on a range of major issues of public policy, interns have worked hard registering new voters. Interns have strategically targeted high school and college students, newly naturalized citizens, and young professionals for voter registration. Thanks to the outstanding work of our interns, USHLI now heads for the home stretch with 57,560 new voters registered to date, proving once again that no organization registers more voters on less money than USHLI.
