Letters to the Next President 2.0

Letters to the Next President 2.0 engaged and connected over 18,000 young people, aged 13-18, as they researched, wrote, and made media to voice their opinions on issues that mattered to them in the 2016 presidential election. Letters to the Next President 2.0 was hosted by the National Writing Project and KQED, and included 20+ Educator Innovator partners.
