RadioOne Houston and the Texas League of Young Voters Education Fund teamed up to register voters! RadioOne Houston is celebrating it’s 30 Year Anniversary during the month of October by giving 30 days back to the Houston community. To kickoff their anniversary events, RadioOne hosted several registration drives with the Texas League. RadioOne Houston consists of radio stations: KBXX 97.9, KMJQ 102.1 and KROI 92.1.
The Texas League of Young Voters Education Fund partnered with The National Organizing Institute Education Fund to host a special volunteer training on September 11th: National Day of Service. The training provided each attendee with practical tools on organizing, building effective teams, how to develop a shared strategy and how to run a successful voter registration campaign. Check out some of the photos from the training below.
