🗳️ Our future voters got a lesson in the power of their voice!
On Election Day, OYC Miami students started their day with a civic education lesson, exploring their responsibilities as citizens, the different levels of government, and the importance of making their voices heard.
Students then moved into interactive voting activities, putting what they learned into practice! 🍦🍿🏀🐾 From choosing their favorite ice cream flavors and popcorn toppings to voting on sports and favorite animals, students experienced firsthand how voting gives everyone an opportunity to have a say.
Beyond casting their ballots, students learned about making informed decisions, respecting different opinions, and understanding that every vote matters.
🇺🇸 They may not be old enough to vote just yet, but they are never too young to understand the power of their voice!

OYC Miami took the Bus to the Polls, where our staff exercised their right to vote early and continued the conversation about civic engagement right here in Historic Overtown! 🗳️
🚶🏽♀️🚶🏾♂️ Following our trip to the polls, we walked together in solidarity through the streets of Historic Overtown, spreading the message about the importance of voting and reminding our neighbors that every voice matters.
Our walk led to a spirited dialogue with local entrepreneur Musaddiq Muhammad, founder of @houseofwings at @tanyajoscheesesteaks where we exchanged perspectives on embracing our civic duty, the power of voting, and our shared responsibility to give back to the community, which leading to mutual respect and understanding.
🪞 If we want to see change in our communities, we have to be willing to see ourselves as part of that change. From casting our ballots to giving back and standing together, we each play a role in shaping the future.
