Our inaugural Civic Kick-Off Call was September 2022, which featured Stephen Curry, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, and Coach Tara VanDerveer in conversation with our student athletes. We had 2,000+ participants along with 26 team watch parties across 17 states, and 17,000+ social media streams.

In 2022, The Team directly engaged student athletes influencers in targeted states (Arizona, Nevada) to share civic engagement posts promoting civic holidays and encouraging their peers to vote. Due to our 2022 work with NIL on civic holidays, The Team reached over 116k social media accounts.

The Team continues to amplify civic holidays, calling athletes to engage with these designated celebrations of civic engaement.  In additon to consisent social media campagins surrounding civic holdiays, The Team  provides in person, high impact event opportunties for student athletes. 

In 2022, Philadelphia Vote Early Day was a celebration connecting athletes from colleges all over Philadelphia to hand out Wawa, Sweetreen, and more to voters at City Hall.  Penn Volleyball captain Elizabeth Ford had the opportunity to speak at the event amongst some of Philadelphia's most established political figures,

The Team began as a call to action in 2020, when we worked with the NCAA to pass legislation that Election Day is a day OFF for sports and ON for civic engagement. Since then we have had 600+ AVNP Day events across the country encouraging athletes, coaches, administrators and fans to vote and get involved in civic engagement.
