Mission
Beyond generating civic energy at Harvard College, HVC partners with the other Harvard University graduate and professional schools, peer institutions in the Boston area and the Ivy League, and the Boston community at-large. Ultimately, HVC aims to take the 'challenge' out of voting at Harvard and beyond! This fall, HVC's mission of engaging young voters is now more important than ever. By encouraging civic action in a non-partisan manner, we aim to build a stronger democracy where everyone's voices can be heard.
