Civic Knowledge and Action Project: Voter Registration Lesson Plan

The Civic Knowledge and Action Project is a collaboration of College Board and DoSomething.org, a nonpartisan nonprofit focused on youth-led volunteering initiatives, to develop opportunities for students to make a difference in their local communities. Through this project, we’ve created optional classroom materials to make it simple for AP Computer Science Principles teachers to integrate lessons about civics and democracy into the course.

For the voter registration project, DoSomething.org will provide interested students with a voter registration toolkit, which they can use to run online voter registration drives in their school and communities. Visit the Civic Knowledge and Action Project page to help your students run online voter registration drives.
