Engage

A location-based civic engagement app that empowers young voters by connecting them with personalized information

Engage was created from a personal desire to better understand the city of Boston's local politics. The app seeks to give people all the information they need to know to civically engage with their community.

The target demographic of Engage is 18-24 year olds- the demographic least likely to vote.

In order to onboard, users need to simply create an account and add their address.

The app is designed to be informative- all information fields include descriptors explaining how one’s local government works.

The Problem

Students and young adults want to be engaged in local government, but often don't know how to due to barriers to entry and time constraints.

In the United States and worldwide, youth voters (18-24) are least likely to turn up for elections, with 51% showing up for the 2020 Presidential Elections. This number becomes even smaller on a local level, where 16% of the city of Boston showed up for the Boston 2021 mayoral election.
