Black Youth Vote activists on the street

Who We Are

For over 20 years, the NCBCP’s Black Youth Vote! Empowerment Program, has successfully engaged and trained a new generation of civic leaders and political activists.

Through BYV!, students, community advocates and young professionals have gained essential tools that enable them to lead their communities to participate fully in the democratic process, focused on attaining greater social and economic justice in the Black Community.

As a result, BYV! can boast about their triumphs in reversing the downward spiral among young voters and educating voters who are increasingly disenfranchised and alienated from the electoral and legislative process.
