The Houston Youth Voters Conference is a student-led, non-partisan collaboration between Houston-area schools with a mission to impact change in our communities by increasing youth voter registration, engagement, education and turnout. Over the last five years, we’ve seen more discussion than ever about voting rights, and Texas has been a key battleground in the fight to retain the right to vote. We’ve also seen the growing importance of local politics, as city and county leaders have made decisions on everything from mask mandates to budget allocation.
We believe that we, as Houston youth, can make a big impact locally. This year, our conference aims to establish a culture of youth civic engagement as a means to elevate marginalized communities. Specifically, we are planning to have an organizations fair, keynote speech, Houston in Flux panel, and student-led discussions. The conference will be held in-person at Plumbers Local 68 Union Hall (502 Link Rd, Houston, TX 77009), and lunch will be provided by Campus Vote Project.
Through HYVC, we hope to foster a culture of political consciousness and action among Houston-area youth. If you are willing to contribute to this cause, please join us at the conference on September 30, 2023 for a day of empowerment!
In the meantime, please follow us on Instagram @htxyouthvoters, on Twitter @htxyouthvoters, and on Facebook at the Houston Youth Voters Conference to get involved! If you have any questions about this year’s conference or how to get involved for 2023’s conference, please email Joshua Fang at jf63@rice.edu.
The Houston Youth Voters Conference is a student-led, nonpartisan collaboration between Civic Duty Rice, Plumbers Local 68 Union , and Houston-area student organizers. We are grateful to our sponsors Collective Action for Youth, Campus Vote Project, and NextGen America. We are actively seeking to get more Houston high schools, colleges, and universities involved, and we are excited to come together to learn, grow, and enact meaningful change in Houston.
