America in One Room will gather a scientific and nationally representative sample of 500 young Americans in our nation’s capital from July 17-20, 2024, from a variety of geographic, demographic, socioeconomic, cultural, and ideological backgrounds. The deadline for students to apply to be considered for participation is April 26, 2024. The program is underwritten by a nonpartisan philanthropy, so there will be no cost to participate. If you are selected for the in-person program, America in One Room: The Youth Vote will pay for all travel to and from Washington, hotel accommodations, and meals. If you are not selected for the in-person program, you will have the chance to participate in virtual activities as the event takes place.
