Power of 5 / VR · Youth Outreach

Youth Outreach lane

Youth Outreach is a formal sub-lane under the Power of 5 / Voter Registration lead at every geographic layer (state, region, county, city, community region, campus, school). Mission: register young voters, build relational turnout networks, recruit student volunteers, launch campus-based 3-person teams, feed students into downstream teams, and grow a networked student organizing system across campuses.

Formal reporting: Youth Outreach Lead → P5 / Voter Registration Lead — assign a Power of 5 / VR coordinator to own student rollups.

Student leaders grow when we pair encouragement with clear tasks — keep graphics and stories school-appropriate.

Overview

P5 / Voter Registration Lead

└─ Youth Outreach Lead

├─ High School Outreach Leads

├─ College Outreach Leads

└─ Campus Team Leads

Youth Outreach Lead — responsibilities

  • Recruit high school and college leads.
  • Track all campuses in the area.
  • Support student team launches.
  • Coordinate registration drives.
  • Encourage social-media-led recruitment.
  • Identify student organizations.
  • Coordinate with Events and Social lanes.
  • Feed student volunteers into downstream teams.
  • Monitor campus KPI progress.
  • Coach cross-campus recruitment — help students launch teams beyond their home school.

Student-friendly task framing

  • 5–10 minute daily actions.
  • Weekly campus challenges.
  • Monthly voter registration pushes.
  • Mobile-first, text-friendly, semester-based planning.

Monthly rhythm

  • One campus outreach event.
  • One voter registration drive.
  • One social media challenge.
  • One team-building push.
  • One progress review.

Cross-campus recruitment

Build your campus, then help another campus launch. Students naturally know students at other schools — recruiting peers at neighboring high schools, sibling colleges, trade programs, and org networks is a primary responsibility, not an extra credit project.

College students often know

  • High school classmates now at other colleges.
  • Friends at universities, trade schools, and community colleges.
  • Student organization contacts and multicampus chapters.

High school students often know

  • Friends at neighboring schools.
  • Club and athletic contacts.
  • Graduates who are now in college (reverse mentoring for launches).

Weekly task

Invite one student at another school to start a campus team.

Coordinate with Events on joint stops — Events tab.

School-based team naming

[School Name] + [Callsign — Liberty, Beacon, Eagle, Pioneer, etc.] + [3-digit team number] — e.g. University of Arkansas Liberty 101, Arkansas Tech Beacon 203, North Little Rock High Eagle 011, Bentonville West Pioneer 055.

Examples

  • University of Arkansas Liberty 101
  • Arkansas Tech Beacon 203
  • North Little Rock High Eagle 011
  • Bentonville West Pioneer 055

    Use peer networks — HS to college sibling schools count.

    Track honestly through P5/VR tables and digital pushes.

    Two schools, one registration moment, one story.

  • Start teams at three campuses

    Sequence: prove model at home, then carry playbooks cross-campus.

Student events and Kelly visits

An event is anything that brings students together. The goal is community and relationship building — not only rallies. Keep it social, repeatable, and easy to host.

Kelly on campus

  • Kelly should visit as many authentic student events as the schedule allows.
  • Request early: classroom discussions (where appropriate), org meetings, coffee meetups, lunch roundtables, after-dinner appetizers, small house or apartment gatherings.

Request Kelly visit — checklist

  • Use Request Kelly Visit on the Youth Events panel — include host student, school, expected attendance, public vs closed event, parking, and accessibility.
  • Pair student stops with the city day plan: morning coffee → lunch with students → afternoon campus stop → evening house party coordination.
Request Kelly visit (email)

City ↔ student coordination

  • City Events Leads coordinate with Youth / student leads when Kelly is in market.
  • Sketch a city day: morning coffee with locals and students, lunch student table, afternoon campus walkthrough, evening house party, optional appetizers after.
  • Student leaders help build the student stops; Events lane owns the run-of-show handoff to HQ.

County Clerk visit (county seat)

When visiting county seats, attempt a County Clerk visit — Elections office relationships help registration accuracy and partnership tone.

  • Drumright · County Clerk

    Clerk contacted

    Draft intro request — no PII in notes field.

Events lane also carries county-seat logistics — mirror this checklist on the Events tab.

Immersion visit model

Campaign target: 2–3 deep immersions per week when calendar allows — typically two days in one city.

Day 1 anchors county-seat work + community leaders + evening hospitality. Day 2 leans campus, registration, student social, and neighborhood outreach.

Day 1

  • County clerk visit when in the county seat (coordinate with Events).
  • Coffee with local leaders.
  • Lunch roundtable.
  • Ribbon cutting or community event.
  • Evening house party.

Day 2

  • Campus event.
  • Registration drive.
  • Student social.
  • Community outreach event.
  • After-dinner appetizers.

High school program

Prefer graduating juniors/senior-level leaders where appropriate; keep parent- and school-appropriate engagement.

Focus

  • Rising seniors and trusted student leaders.
  • Parent- and school-appropriate engagement.
  • Registration preparation for eligible students.
  • Civic education.
  • Peer-to-peer outreach.

Tasks

  • Identify student leaders.
  • Build school teams.
  • Prepare registration drives.
  • Recruit graduating seniors.
  • Each week: invite one student at another school to start a campus team.

College program

One college lead covers universities, trade schools, and community colleges in the footprint.

Focus

  • Student organizations.
  • Dorm and apartment networks.
  • Greek organizations.
  • Faith-based student groups.
  • Young professionals.

Tasks

  • Recruit campus leads.
  • Launch 3-person teams.
  • Host registration drives.
  • Build a strong social presence.
  • Each week: invite one student at another school to start a campus team.

Student team builder

Every campus team uses the same 3-person triad: Events Coordinator · Social Media Coordinator · Power of 5 / Voter Registration Coordinator. It starts with one student — they recruit two more and launch the team.

Student-led teams mirror the adult triad so Events, Social, and P5/VR stay balanced. Start with one student; they invite two peers; launch when all three lanes are covered.

Placement queue (students → downstream)

Social recruitment

Primary recruitment surface for students — short posts, stories/reels, and peer invites to /volunteer.

  • Share one local post per week.
  • Repost campaign-approved content.
  • Create short stories/reels (community guidelines).
  • Invite classmates to /volunteer.
  • Promote campus registration drives.

Registration drives

Coordinate with P5/VR for tables, digital pushes, and semester windows. Pair every outreach event with a registration moment when possible.

  • Place student volunteers into existing adult triads when they are not launching a campus team.
  • Route interested adults from campus events into community geographic teams.
  • Move strong student leaders into new campus triad launches with Events + Social + P5/VR coverage.
  • Prioritize cross-campus introductions before paid acquisition — trust transfers through peers.
