Marin County high school and college students who are interested in participating in the November election and looking to earn community service hours are invited to participate in the county’s Student Elections Ambassadors Program.
SEAP ambassadors assist in voter registration and preregistration outreach, organize civic engagement events and help distribute nonpartisan election information from trusted sources such as the Marin County Elections Department and the California Secretary of State’s Office.
“Parents often tell us that SEAP helps their teens gain confidence, leadership skills, and a real sense of civic responsibility,” said Marin County Registrar of Voters Natalie Adona. “It’s a meaningful way for young people to get involved and understand how elections work in their own community.”
Participants in the program attend at least one in-person planning meeting, at least two outreach activities and must complete an end-of-year survey. Volunteer hours can be used as service credits toward graduation.
SEAP is supported by the county Elections Department, the League of Women Voters of Marin County, and the Marin County Office of Education.
An informational kickoff event featuring pizza will be held on Sept. 15 at the Elections Department on the first floor of the Marin County Civic Center at 3501 Civic Center Drive, Suite 121, San Rafael. The recommended entry is at the Civic Center’s Middle Arch. Parking is free. Those interested must register online.
