Our Vision
The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge empowers colleges and universities to achieve excellence in nonpartisan student democratic engagement.
Our Mission
The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge’s (ALL IN) mission is to foster civic culture and institutionalize democratic engagement activities and programs at colleges and universities, making them a defining feature of campus life.
As an initiative of Civic Nation, ALL IN, in collaboration with higher education institutions, seeks to:
- Make participation in local, state, and federal elections a social norm.
- Substantially increase the number of college students who are democratically engaged on an ongoing basis, during and between elections, and not just at the polls.
- Make educating for democratic engagement on college campuses an accepted and expected part of the culture and curriculum so that students graduate with the knowledge, skills, behaviors, and values needed to be informed and active citizens.
ALL IN embraces a tripartite definition of democratic engagement: democratic engagement = civic learning + political engagement + voter participation (see ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge Theory of Change). ALL IN aims to enable colleges and universities to institutionalize nonpartisan democratic engagement by way of providing structure, support, and recognition.
Our Goals
By 2030, ALL IN will:
- Foster and elevate robust civic cultures at colleges and universities, centering civic learning and voter participation as essential parts of the college experience.
- Increase college student voter registration, education, and turnout rates in local, state, and federal elections.
- Increase opportunities for college students to develop civic agency by way of civic learning, skill building, and high-impact civic experiences.
