 Our mission is to build community capacity for informed, engaged, civil deliberation.

Our vision is for a stronger democracy through enhanced public deliberation.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered for Kids Voting Kansas! This year marked our largest and most successful Kids Voting event yet thanks to your time and dedication. Without the help of Kansas State University's Institute for Civic Discourse and Democracy, Manhattan Konza Rotary, all the schools in USD 383, and you, this event would not be possible. Being able to host Kids Voting in our community is important because it educates our youth and excites them about the democratic process. It was wonderful to see the Kansas State University campus and Manhattan community working together for this great cause. Thank you again for your hard work and we hope to work again with you in the future!

Sincerely,

Amanda Meinhardt
