Raise Your Voice
 RYV is a national student civic engagement campaign
that encourages student participation in public life by:
- encouraging student reflection on
their place in local communities and campuses;
- exploring students conceptions of
community;
- investing students in a range of
community service activities, public actions and dialogues; and
- seeding and sustaining the
important community-focused work occurring on campuses.
Since 2002, in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the Raise Your Voice campaign
has been a catalyst for campuses to encourage collaboration among campus
communities to focus on the role of student leaders in raising awareness and
creating social change. The campaign has been an opportunity to listen to student
voice and support student civic engagement to address public issues crucial to
our democracy. As a national movement, Raise Your Voice sought to increase,
celebrate, and deepen student civic engagement on college campuses across the
country. Throughout the campaign, students spoke as a collective voice about the
importance of promoting student civic engagement. Collectively over the last six
years, the Raise Your Voice campaign has sponsored events that galvanized
students on 28 campuses and brought over 5,400 students to action in the
democratic and community-building process.
