“Our participation in the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge was incredibly helpful in enhancing our voter engagement efforts. The feedback on our action plan, along with resources provided a clear and practical framework, and was a helpful blueprint for us to advance our initiative effectively. Institutional partnerships with campus offices ensured students could easily access voter registration resources, whether in classrooms, dorms, or through campus-wide media and communications. Through the support of ALL IN, we successfully built buy-in, visibility, and overall campus-wide engagement around voting and civic participation.”

ALL IN supports participating campuses through action plan coaching and feedback, resource toolkits, communities of practice, voter registration tools, webinars, and ALL IN staff assigned to each campus. Campuses that take advantage of these support resources are more likely to be highly engaged with ALL IN programming and have higher student voter participation as a result.

83% of campuses new to action planning used ALL IN’s custom action plan template to develop their action plan.

“Partnering with ALL IN has provided us with the skills, resources, tools, and thought partnership needed to enhance our students’ civic education, support voter registration, empower engagement with local elected officials, and expand democratic participation across campus. The success we’ve achieved over the past two election cycles would not have been possible without ALL IN’s support.”
