CYC helps make community voices heard

CYC-Crown helps to make voter registration more accessible to South Shore community members.

CYC-Crown is making sure everyone’s voice is heard in this election. CYC joined forces with Blocks 2 Cities and the NAACP to set up a voter registration table outside our South Shore Center on September 29. First-time voters as well as individuals needing to update their records had the opportunity to register to vote.

Crown Child Care Director Monique King who helped organize the event shared, “Everyone who is of age should understand how important it is to vote. It's a good way for everyone to voice their opinion."

CYC’s programs instill the importance of community engagement in our young people and one important form of making a difference is exercising the right to vote. Providing a registration table outside of our Center was a safe way to make voter registration more accessible to community members. At least two CYC parents registered at the event, as well as additional South Shore community members.

Congratulations to the newly registered voters! Don’t forget to make your voice heard by voting in the election on November 3.
