March to the Polls

Before they go to the polls, we go to their schools.

North Texas Giving Day is September 17, just 47 days before Election Day. 

The 2026 midterm elections are approaching, and thousands of young North Texans will have an opportunity to make their voices heard at the ballot box, many for the very first time. But participating in our democracy starts long before Election Day.

March to the Polls goes directly into North Texas schools to give young people the knowledge, confidence and tools they need to participate. Through classroom-based civic and voter education, voter registration, Student Voter Empowerment Clubs and hands-on civic engagement activities, students learn not just how to vote, but why their voices matter.

March to the Polls has registered more than 62,000 people to vote, including more than 44,000 students. The young people we engage consistently turn out to vote at two to four times the rate of their peers in North Texas. In both the November 2025 and March 2026 elections, our students' turnout was at least twice that of other 18-year-olds.

March to the Polls is expanding our reach across North Texas and preparing thousands of students to participate in the 2026 midterm elections and beyond.

When you give to March to the Polls for North Texas Giving Day, you help us:

• Bring nonpartisan voter and civic education directly into high school classrooms.
• Register eligible students to vote.
• Equip students with reliable, nonpartisan election information.
• Expand Student Voter Empowerment Clubs across North Texas.
• Give young people opportunities to lead voter education and civic engagement activities on their campuses.
• Build lifelong voters, not just voters for one election.

That makes your investment especially powerful. The work of preparing young voters cannot wait until November. It happens now, in classrooms, schools and communities across North Texas.
