Black Youth Vote is not just a program, it’s a movement! BYV! strives to empower and engage young people, ages 18-35, to build our own political power through full civic participation in the political process. Through trainings in civic education, leadership and campaign development, they identify the issues that effect us and use various tactics to influence public policy.

Their goal is to continue to build power in our communities and force politicians to make our issues their issues, with young black voters.
