Just For Kids

Classroom Presentations

We gear classroom presentations toward specific grade levels. They include a discussion on the importance of voting, our local government, and the electoral process. Students have the opportunity to take part in a mock election and are also given the chance to pre-register or register to vote. For more information, contact us.

Sunshine State Young Readers and Florida Teens Read

We offer elementary and middle schools the opportunity to schedule their Sunshine State Young Reader’s Award Program (SSYRAP) elections. Students vote using DoubleClick Democracy Online Voting, so your school has flexibility to schedule their Election Day. With DoubleClick Democracy Online Voting, we provide access to the online ballot for the SSYRA and Florida Teens Read (FTR) programs. Interested schools can send a request on our Contact Us page.
