Student Opportunities
The IOP aims to inspire in students an active interest in public service. Through student-led leadership development programs and workshops, young people develop the tools to become leaders, public servants and advocates.
UChiVotes
UChiVotes is a student-led, non-partisan civic engagement group run out of the Institute of Politics whose goal is to increase voter turnout in the UChicago community. Join the movement and help us become the top voting campus in the country.
Become a Voting Ambassador
Voting ambassadors are in charge of mobilizing voters, directing students to UChiVotes content, and engaging their personal networks and RSOs. Come to a voting ambassador training, and use your voice to help people vote!
