Why should we mobilize the power of youth
Answers
Answer:
Youth turnout in the recent United States midterm elections was the highest it has been in 25 years. The midterms also saw the average age of congressional representatives go down by 10 years.
Likewise, in the 2015 Canadian federal election, 58 per cent of newly eligible voters turned out to vote, an increase of almost 18 per cent over the 2011 election.
There have been similar increases in voting among 18- to 24-year-olds in provincial elections. Dramatic wins in 2015 for the NDP in Alberta and British Columbia can be attributed in part to youth voting, because younger voters lean progressive.
Resource mobilization is critical to any organization for the following reasons: Ensures the continuation of your organization's service provision to clients. Supports organizational sustainability. Allows for improvement and scale-up of products and services the organization currently provides.
