Strong Start Clark County Youth Mayor
Each year Step Up for Kids brings together people to show widespread support for investments in children and families. Participants include child advocates, politicians, parents and kids. Events held across the country raise awareness among voters and political candidates regarding the issues American children face, such as access to early care and learning, after-school programs, poverty, child abuse and neglect, and health care.
Youth Mayor will give children the chance to learn about basic political and campaigning skills in a fun and engaging way while allowing them to interact with their community.
