A nonpartisan fellowship teaching 1,000 young people, ages 17-22, how to build civic power in their state, one door at a time.






Every primary, every runoff, every quiet local race is a door waiting to be knocked. We're not asking you to be perfect, or to know every policy. We're asking you to show up, for your block, your campus, your future, and bring a friend.
Voter pledge deadline · October 6, 2026
In each Keep Knocking state, young voters will help decide governorships, U.S. Senate seats, state supreme courts, and the laws that shape housing, healthcare, and the cost of going to school. We meet them at the door before someone else decides for them.
Fifteen Door Knock Leaders. Six state chapters, Georgia, Florida, Washington DC, California, Ohio, and New York. From Spelman, Cornell, Ohio State, and Howard, organizing the issues that hit closest to home: affordable student housing, voter access, Black maternal health, deed theft, and the cost of living.
