Marin County is inviting local high school and college students to take part in a new community outreach effort designed to encourage young people to become more involved in the electoral process.

The county is recruiting students for its Student Elections Ambassadors Program, which will focus on voter-registration education and nonpartisan civic engagement ahead of the November election.

Selected students will help spread information about voter registration and preregistration while also supporting community events aimed at increasing awareness of the voting process. The program is also expected to give participating students an opportunity to earn community-service hours.

County officials are presenting the initiative as a way to connect younger residents with local civic activities while ensuring that election information reaches communities through trusted, nonpartisan channels.

Student ambassadors can play an important role in reaching first-time voters because young people may be more likely to engage with information shared through schools, colleges and peer networks. The program could therefore help make election participation easier to understand for residents preparing to vote for the first time.

The initiative is particularly timely as Marin County prepares for the November election. Students participating in the program will have an opportunity to learn more about how elections operate while helping other residents access reliable information.

The county’s approach also emphasizes that the outreach is intended to remain nonpartisan. Ambassadors will focus on voter education and participation rather than promoting candidates or political parties.

Applications and participation details are being made available through Marin County’s election outreach program, with students encouraged to consider the opportunity if they are interested in public service, civic engagement or community involvement.

The program offers young residents a practical way to contribute to their community while gaining firsthand experience with the democratic process.
