Youth Voter Initiative interns took center stage at the 4th of July Parade on Main Street in downtown Grand Junction. They dubbed Colorado “The Bucket List State” and asked parade participants to add voting to their bucket list to preserve all the opportunities Colorado provides.

Through our Youth Voter Initiative, the goal of Western Colorado Alliance is not to persuade local youth to vote for a particular party or candidate, but to view voting as a right and a responsibility, always. Our grassroots democracy interns, working within their high schools, train to register other students to vote, and earn the importance of voting in every election.
