A special thanks to our partners, especially Student Vote / Vote Étudiant. Registered schools from Quebec are benefiting from the help and material of our two organizations. Please note that registrations are now closed. For information please contact us. Renewed funding for the Voters in Training program The Quebec government’s Secrétariat à la jeunesse, our main financial partner, has announced that they have renewed the program’s funding for the next five years. This is excellent news and will allow us to expand and improve Voters in Training. Quebec Premier Jean Charest launched the 2009-2014 Youth Action Strategy on March 27. Part of the strategy states that “participating in our society’s democratic life is a form of citizenship involvement and that increasing young people’s awareness to their future role as voters will help them become more astute citizens.” “Considering that voters between the age of 18 and 24 have a very low turnout in elections, a project such as Voters in Training becomes essential. We are very happy that the Secrétariat à la jeunesse has renewed its support”, declared Laurence St-Denis, president of the Forum jeunesse de l’île de Montréal and spokesperson for the project. You can refer to the Youth Action Strategy here.
