We believe the future of our country deserves a voice and a seat at the table
By the youth, for the youth
New Voters began in 2017 as a high school club in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, where our founder registered over 85% of eligible students for the 2018 midterm election. That year, New Voters expanded to dozens of schools in Pennsylvania and officially became a 501(c)3 nonprofit.
In 2020, we launched nationally and recruited our team of 50+ interns and directors to expand the reach of our registration model. Since our inception, we have supported registration drives in over 500 high schools and civically engaged tens of thousands of high school students. Our focus states are Arizona and Pennsylvania, two states very high on the Youth Electoral Significance Index, but we support voter registration nationwide and have chapters in 42 states.
We have also expanded our mission to involve students in youth-led research on high school political behavior, government policy formulation and implementation, and civic technological development.
Our vision is simple:
every high school student registers before graduating
