The Camp will be held in the Shiloh M.B. Church Educational Wing, 2415 Old Moulton Rd SW, Decatur, AL 35603.
At a time when civic engagement and voting are increasingly low — Voices of Power stands as a direct response. The camp gives young people the knowledge, language, and tools they need to become more informed, active citizens before they ever set foot in a high school.
We believe that civic knowledge is the foundation of engagement and power. These young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow —
they are the citizens of today.”
