In recent election years there has been a focus on the ‘youth vote’. Will they turn out? What do they care about? Do candidates care about them? Millennials represent 24 percent of the voting age population. Young people represent the future; in order to become the leaders who will propel us in the right direction in thefuture, they must first become registered voters.
On February 27th and March 1st, 2016[ET1]  100 students from East Tech and Collinwood High Schools were registered to vote. DM4G began the voter registration drive by showing a short film about the history of voting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdlXdehi0Sg) where the students learned how important the youth vote can be. After the film Mr. Moscovitz and Mrs. Black provided the students with more in depth information about the process and importance of becoming a registered voter and exercising their right to vote.

 Let’s face it, community service possibilities are everywhere but it can be hard to find an organization or association that interests young people. 
 
On Friday, January 29, 2016 our Collinwood DoMore4:Good team gathered at The Cleveland Food Bank to sort and pack the food donations. The volunteer event was led by Collinwood’s Track & Field Coach, Mr. Lewis, who has committed to DoMore4:Good in the Collinwood neighborhood. Many of the student volunteers were Track & Field team members. DM4G’s youth volunteered along with retired physicians from Solon, Ohio.
