Y outh and P olitics in I owa: Presented by Cody Allen Elizabeth Barret Girija Mahajan Providing Political Opportunities Through Organizations

The Political Atmosphere Currently, Iowa is a hot spot for national politics. The Republican straw poll and other fundraisers provide opportunities for young Iowans to get involved in politics. The problem is that few youths are taking advantage of this.

Proposal n To involve more High School students in their local and state politics through organizations.

The High School Level What we do have: n Student Government n Boys/Girls State n National Council for Youth Leadership n Governor’s Youth Leadership Conference n Caucuses ISPAC ISPAC

Iowa Student Political Awareness Club: n Formed by Chet Culver, Secretary of State n Nonpartisan statewide organization, to increase political and community involvement n Campaigning opportunities

At the High School Level What we don’t have...

... Availability & Promotion...

Availability: Availability: – Many of these high schools programs are usually offered in urban areas, while in rural areas they are not. – 61% Rural39% Urban State Population-1996State Population-1996

Promotion Promotion – Making students aware of this programs should be a priority. – This will trigger student involvement.

Advantages to considering the proposal n More youths in Iowa would be aware of the political opportunities in Iowa. n It would increase voter turnout. n It would encourage young Iowans to stay and better their own state.

“The majority of people, if not involved in politics by the age 18, will not be involved until they retire.” -David Yepsen
