What is Youth Voice, Youth Vote (YV2)?
Youth Voice, Youth Vote, or YV² is the first Participatory Budgeting (PB) process in Oregon. As Oregon’s first PB process, YV² invites youth ages 13-25 who live, play, pray or go to school within the boundary (currently, or within the last two years) to design and vote on $500,000 into COVID -19 relief and recovery projects.
The Rulebook, a document that guides this participatory budgeting process, was developed by a 12-member, all-youth Steering Committee for YV². These rules describe the process, goals and values, themes to inspire project ideas, participant eligibility, roles, and opportunities for involvement.
