NYC Votes We Power NYC Ambassadors

From NYC Votes:
We Power NYC is an initiative by young people, for young people. The We Power NYC Ambassador Program is for New Yorkers aged 14-24 who are committed to increasing youth engagement in local elections. 

Ambassadors become voting experts by participating in weekly meetings, engaging with local history, hosting Voter Mobilization events in their communities, and sharing critical non-partisan information on their social media.

You deserve a say in how things are run. So make your voice heard!

Special thanks to

Olivia Brady - NYC Votes Youth Engagement Coordinator

Alexander Kestenbaum - CUNY Service Corps Intern

 

and the Ambassadors:

Camila Jimenez, Caroline Ji, Nafisatou Tunkara, Labiba Iqra, Nikita Chernin, Ana Luo Cai, James Lherisson, Nathaniel Valdivieso, Siara Chowdhury, Kaisha Handa, Ryan La Barrie, Ara Lopez, Ellie Fecko, Valeria Menendez, Felicia Trestin
