<p>LYVEF is dedicated to engaging diverse 17-35 year olds more deeply in the democratic process through peer-to-peer voter education and training that integrates a culture of "Voter Organization" into existing community, culture and issue-based groups. LYVEF co-convenes national and regional strategy sessions with other young voter organizations so organizations working on 17-35 year old voter engagement can support each other instead of reinventing wheels.</p>
