THE SUBURBAN YOUTH ACTION NETWORK
WHAT IS SYAN?
The Suburban Youth Action Network (SYAN) is a non-partisan initiative aimed at getting young newly eligible voters in our area’s high schools registered to vote and prepared to participate in our Democracy!
WHAT DOES SYAN DO?
VOTER REGISTRATION
VOTER EDUCATION
VOTER PROTECTION
Our aim is to register, educate, and protect young voters as they go to the ballot box for the first time. We don’t intend to push any political message, and instead work to ensure each young voter, regardless of party affiliation, is fully aware of their rights as a voter and is equipped to exercise those rights.
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
Our aim is to register 2,000 NEW VOTERS by Election Day 2022. To do that, WE NEED YOU! Click one of the icons below to learn more about how you can help us reach goal
