The toolkit is organized into five key phases that guide youth organizers through the full arc of a local campaign to expand voting rights. Each phase reflects lessons learned from the Oakland Youth Vote campaign and includes guiding questions, sample tools, and strategic considerations to support organizing efforts in different cities. 

The toolkit phases covered are: 

1. Coalition-building and campaign planning
2. Running a campaign through a city council ordinance or ballot measure
3. Advocating for implementation
4. Preparing youth to vote in their first election
5. Reflecting and building long-term political power

Whether you’re just starting out or advancing an existing campaign, this resource is designed to be flexible, adaptable, and rooted in youth leadership.
