League of Women Voters registers 18 students at Napa Valley College event

At the Napa County Board of Supervisors meeting on March 11, 2025, the spotlight shone on civic engagement as Yolanda Shamran, Vice President of the League of Women Voters of Napa County, highlighted a successful collaboration aimed at empowering young voters. Shamran shared the league's initiative with the California Secretary of State and Napa Valley College, which successfully registered 18 students aged 18 to 25. This effort underscores the league's commitment to fostering democratic participation among the youth.

Following Shamran's remarks, the meeting transitioned to routine business, with the board swiftly moving through the consent calendar items. Supervisor Gallagher made a motion to approve the agenda, which was seconded by Supervisor Manfry, and the motion passed unanimously without any public comments or objections.

The meeting's focus on youth voter registration reflects a broader commitment to civic education and engagement in Napa County, setting a positive tone for future initiatives aimed at increasing participation in the democratic process. As the board continues its work, the impact of such programs may resonate well beyond the immediate community, encouraging a new generation of informed voters.
