Canadian youth are not opting into the democratic process. In the 2011 Federal Election only 38.8% of Canadians aged 18-24 voted, continuing a long-term downward trend. Voting – or not voting – is a habit. If we don’t address this issue, in a generation we will have a country where the majority of citizens don’t vote.
Meanwhile, millions of young Canadians aren’t volunteering, and 45% say it’s because no one asked them to. With the looming retirement of the baby boomers, young people will not be there to meet our country’s increasing need for volunteers unless we change the way we are engaging them in our communities.
Young Canadians deserve to be a part of the democratic process, and we need them to be active citizens.
Apathy is Boring is the only youth-led, non-partisan Canadian charitable organization that offers programming aimed at unengaged youth 18 - 35 years old, mobilizing them to become active citizens, while at the same time working with civil society and government to engage youth in decision-making.
Apathy is Boring cannot do this important work alone. We need your support.

About Apathy is Boring
Apathy is Boring uses art and technology to educate youth about democracy, with the aim of increasing youth voter turnout, increasing youth engagement in the democratic process, and building a sustainable dialogue between youth and elected officials.
Since 2004 Apathy is Boring has distinguished itself as a credible leader by reaching millions of young Canadians and working with partners as diverse as Elections Canada, Office of the Secretary to the Governor General, MTV/MuchMusic, Dose.ca, and many more to engage youth across Canada. And we are just getting started.
