The Loud Light Fall Fellowship will boost voter registration, confidence, education, and turnout around the fall election, increase Loud Light’s relationships with partnering schools and communities, and enhance the culture of civic engagement in Kansas. We are hiring students at every major university in Kansas to be campus coordinators. They will learn and then share that information with their peers and communities.
