Company Overview:: The idea for Take Your Kids 2 Vote came from a series of interviews about the best way to instill patriotism in the young. Again and again, adults recalled childhood memories of “when my parents took me to vote,” vivid recollections of watching mom and dad pull the lever or put the ballot in the box and receive that “I voted” sticker to wear proudly all day. It was a special moment they never forgot.

At a time when our politics can be divisive and elections can be so negative, Take Your Kids 2 Vote is a unique, positive experience and a great opportunity, on one important day, to teach our children about the enduring values of American democracy. This is a very important lesson for them --- and critically important for our nation’s future.
