outreach tools
Following are tools the Campaign for Young Voters has developed to help candidates and campaign staff reach out to young voters.
 
The sample website, radio script, and direct mail piece are based on lessons from a series of 18 focus groups of young adults from around the country, telling us what they liked and didn't like about candidate outreach. The draft Op/Ed, Quotes, and Facts and Figures are written to allow you to speak with authority on voting, democracy and citizenship. Feel free to download them and use them as you wish.
