Leadership
Kids Voting Buncombe County is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization serving Buncombe County students since 2000. We depend on volunteers for leadership and support.
In addition to the board, Kids Voting works with public and private school teachers, home school organizations and election volunteers. We partner with numerous organizations to provide activities that get students involved and ready to be active citizens.
