About the Vote Everywhere Program
Vote Everywhere is The AGF’s unique, experiential, nonpartisan program that leverages the history of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement to inspire students nationally to effect positive social change. Through the program, The AGF trains and supports students to be Vote Everywhere Ambassadors at colleges and universities, and acts as a strategic partner to participating schools, advancing and deepening their civic engagement work. Vote Everywhere develops a national community of campus leaders who engage, educate and mobilize their communities to take collective action using their votes, voices and networks.

About The Andrew Goodman Foundation
The Andrew Goodman Foundation was created in 1966 by Robert and Carolyn Goodman to carry on the spirit and the purpose of their son Andy’s life. Today, our work harnesses the legacy of courageous civic action and coalition building to grow today’s hero citizen: the young adult bitten by the spirit of activism (like Andy), the mid-career professional leading a results-driven change organization, and the advanced career or retiree interested in sharing the lessons and legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. We advance civic engagement via initiatives and opportunities that link social change work to citizen empowerment, democratic participation and innovative government interventions. To complement and strengthen our civic engagement work, we advance intergenerational coalitions, connecting young change agents with experienced activists, entrepreneurs and social justice rock stars.
