Claire joined YIP's Voter Engagement Team in February of 2024, just as the 2024 Presidential Election was approaching, and consequently, got to see the impact of voter engagement efforts first-hand. As a Voter Engagement Intern, Claire grew her passion for civic engagement by creating resources that made voter information more accessible to all and hosting voter registration drives in her local community.
