Education, Involvement, Advocacy
1) Education: We, as part of Kids for Democracy, want every member of our organization to be educated about politics and the Democratic Party. Every kid should try to make sure that they are fully informed about the political system in our country.
2) Involvement: As part of Kids for Democracy, we hope you participate in politics to your best ability, and thrive to understand the basic ideas of the democratic process. Also, it is very important that kids are involved in political campaigns, and learn what it means to be a part of an ongoing, spirited, excited, and vital team racing toward a big goal -- to win! As a member of Kids for Democracy, it is essential to be committed to a cause within the Democratic Party -- and act on it and get involved!
3) Advocacy: Within Kids for Democracy, every member should have one main goal: to work on behalf of Democratic youth. We hope that you will help ensure that the voices of kid Democrats are being heard throughout the country. All kids that participate in Kids for Democracy should support issues and ideas that are committed to fairness and justice. Your job as a member of Kids for Democracy is to make America a safer, healthier, and overall better place for children.
