INTERVIEW: Voting Pledge Form

The Voting Pledge Form can be used by the girls with any upcoming political election such as school budget or presidential to interview people and ask them:
  • Will you help me understand more about voting so I can make educated choices when I am legally allowed to vote?
  • Why do you vote?
  • Which of the Life issues concern you and why?
  • Will you commit to vote in the election by signing the GirlsMatter Voting Pledge?
This activity encourages the girls to:
  • Maintain eye contact with the interviewee
  • Use receptive listening skills
  • Accept the person’s point of view without reacting
Discuss Results:

When the Pledge to Vote Campaign is completed the girls discuss their results at a club meeting.
