VAAC ambassadors have been out across Detroit and Metro Detroit, bringing voter and civic education into back-to-school events, community resource gatherings, and spaces where families and neighbors are already connecting.

At each stop, we answer voting questions, help eligible residents register to vote, share accurate information about voting rights in Michigan, and make voter education part of the broader conversations happening in our communities.

We’ve been sharing photos and highlights from these events on social media. Take a look at where we’ve been, then visit our pages to like, comment, and share the posts with your networks.
