Internship
Every year, we recruit high school and college-aged students who are passionate about civic engagement to join our team of interns. As an intern, you’ll play a key role in uplifting your community through meaningful civic engagement. Our interns are at the forefront of voter outreach, participating in initiatives such as Vote Mob events, hosting and supporting Candidate Forums, and registering community members to vote. This is a hands-on experience that helps build leadership. Interns must be able to commit to working 10–15 hours per week.
Applications are due May 25th, 2025.
If you would like more information or would like to apply please, reach out to us.
vote mob
Every year, Root the Power and members of the community meet at the Sedgwick County Election Office. We come together with food, music and speakers. We celebrate the power of our vote and together march in and vote early.
Youth-Led candidate forums
During election season Root the Power is involved in youth-led candidate forums. It is one of the best ways to prepare for casting your ballot. We see the importance of meeting and learning about our candidates and the issues that are important to us.
