Voter and Civic Engagement Toolkit
The Alliance for Strong Families and Communities partnered with experienced members and Nonprofit VOTE to provide examples from the field, along with resources containing guidance on voter and civic engagement in the new Strategies for Mobilizing Voters: A Toolkit for Nonprofit Community-Based Organizations . This toolkit includes member stories, coupled with related tools and tips for executing such practices at your organizations. These stories will be featured regularly via the Alliance E-News, Alliance Policy Radar, and on our social media sites.
