YouCanVote Volunteers Needed!
We’re
starting early to gear up for the primaries in May and the general election in
November, and we would love to have Peace students actively involved in Get Out
the Vote work on campus and in the community.
Our
student leaders get experience in running political campaigns (without a
candidate), recruiting and managing volunteers, and running voter registration
and education drives and phone banks to get out the vote. Do you know any
students interested in volunteering and/or looking for an internship? If so,
please pass those names along. Also, can you circulate our kickoff training in
Raleigh for March, 4. It’s off campus but rides are available for students.
Here’s the link to
the event, and attached is the flyer.

Service Spotlight: Maiah Overton
Being from Washington, D.C. at a young age children are exposed to harsh realities of society, requiring many to mature at an early age. For me, I took on responsibilities of caring for my younger siblings while my mother was at work. Doing so left me no time for extracurricular activities like community service. My senior year in high school, I was finally able to get involved more with community events and senior activities. My first community service project involved building a playground for unprivileged kids. Coming to Peace, I did not know what my involvement on campus and off campus would look like. I had no idea it would be what it is now. Outside of the work I do with PACT, I ensure organizations I am a part of complete at least one event every year helps within the Raleigh community somehow, big or small. Thankfully, at WPU I am not limited to a certain type of community service or ways of helping. I am convicted in order for us to become a better world, we have to be willing to go out of our way to help those in needs, anywhere and in anyway
