PA Voice 2009 Plan
PA Voice 2010 Plan

Program Outcome:

Our work focuses on three core outcomes:

  • Increasing the share of voters identified as historically under-represented, infrequent or socially responsible constituencies
  • Identifying core public policy issues of measurable concern among targeted constituencies through polling and community-driven policy input
  • Identification, recruitment and training of new leaders, volunteers and candidates from traditionally under-participating constituencies
