Vote
At the Y, we believe voting isn’t just a civic duty, it’s also a key part of strengthening community!
As a nonpartisan nonprofit organization, we are committed to helping individuals and communities across the nation prepare for Election Day (November 3, 2020).
Voting is associated with many positive benefits for both community members and nonprofit organizations like the Y. According to The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, voters are more likely to volunteer, contact their elected officials and stay informed about local affairs. It also helps strengthen social ties and improves health.
