community civic engagement program
Help Build Stronger and Healthier Communities
Community Health Centers are located in the most underserved and underrepresented communities across the nation, serving as trusted messengers to up to 52 million individuals nationwide. At Vot-ER, we understand that health centers often need additional capacity and expertise to incorporate nonpartisan civic engagement activities for eligible voters into their operations. The Community Civic Engagement Program (CCEP) is Vot-ER’s flagship program to meet that need.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2026. GET NOTIFIED FOR FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES.
LEGAL NOTICE:
The program’s civic engagement work is fully HIPAA-compliant and in accordance with the National Voter Registration Act. Eligible voters enter their own information into a secure voter registration system.
All public healthcare institutions and all public or private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations can operate voter registration drives if they do so in a nonpartisan manner. Health centers cannot use federal funds to conduct nonpartisan voter registration efforts.
Vot-ER will provide all participants with training on how to remain compliant. It is the responsibility of each health center to seek guidance from their internal compliance/legal department.
