SignVote Youth Champion

The SignVote Youth Champion program provides resources and incentives to educators and administrators to integrate democratic engagement activities into their classes and foster democratic engagement at their deaf schools and programs.

SignVote Mock Election

The SignVote Mock Election is a first-of-a-kind program that allows deaf middle school and high school students to cast a ballot on a bilingual ballot and to compare the political preferences of deaf students across the country.
