VISION
We envision full civic participation of youth voters in underrepresented communities.
GOALS
The formation of Texas Turnout provides a much needed wrap-around, year-round, culturally relevant, peer-to-peer civic engagement operation that removes every obstacle between an eligible voter and the ballot box. By November 2023, we aim to register and empower 5,000 youth voters.

Community Field Coordinator
“Growing up in the RGV I became involved in issue based advocacy and civic engagement where I witnessed young members of the community show a reluctance to participate in politics and those that wished to become involved faced barriers to participation. Working with Texas Turnout signifies a tremendous opportunity for more RGV youth to contribute to democracy, make their voices heard, and have an influence on the issues that impact them and their communities.”

Community Field Coordinator
“Texas Turnout’s vision is vital for a healthy, prospering community. As city, county, state, and national community neighbors, we must encourage each other to question how we are being governed, have substantial civic participation, be aware of the issues we face, and vote at the polls. I am excited to participate in Texas Turnout’s youth voter engagement mission throughout our Cameron/Hidalgo Counties and remind our communities about the importance of our shared civic participation.”
