ALI - Abbott Leadership Institute

For over 15 years the Youth Media Symposium has made it a priority to engage our youth advocates in the school board elections. Students have created videos to remind adults to vote, hosted candidates forums with The Gem Project, Inc. and more importantly, set forth agenda items that mattered to them - like student voice and college readiness for all, which resulted in the YMS College Success Centers. Now, thanks to local legislation and the efforts of New Jersey Institute for Social Justice 16 year olds can VOTE. Join us on Saturday for the VOTE 16 Summit, a day dedicated to empowering young people age 14-24 to secure their voting power.
