Every summer a group of high school and college students from the Odell Center in Washington and the MLK Freedom Center in Oakland, spend time in a targeted location to engage in non-partisan voter outreach and education while receiving daily instruction on civic engagement.
In July 2016, the group came to Kern County and participated in the Dolores Huerta Foundation’s #GETLOUD Voter Registration Drive, a county-wide effort focused on registering as many new voters as possible before the general election in November.
Please RSVP at the link below, as light snacks and beverages will be provided.
