The Wilks Institute partners with several local and national organizations to support our civic engagement work. In addition to the Wilks Civic Engagement Ambassadors, we also host Andrew Goodman Foundation Ambassadors and Campus Vote Project Democracy Fellows to maximize impact and improve voter access across campus. These partnerships provide valuable opportunities to learn from others doing this work and resources that empower students and campus leaders to engage with and act on issues at the ballot box and beyond.
Vote Everywhere, a program of The Andrew Goodman Foundation (AGF), is a unique civic engagement initiative rooted in a legacy of civil rights and social justice. Vote Everywhere empowers a national community of campus leaders to mobilize others to act on issues of importance using their votes, voices, and networks. Vote Everywhere student ambassadors are focused on the census, voter registration, and elections.
Campus Vote Project works with universities, community colleges, faculty, students, and election officials to reduce barriers to student voting. They aim to help campuses institutionalize reforms that empower students with the information they need to register and vote.
