Rep the Future aims to bridge the access and opportunity gap by providing equitable funds in the form of stipends to give all students the chance to get involved with political campaigns, regardless of socioeconomic status, or any other factor.
Chip in now to support equality of opportunity in democratic politics among the youth demographic! All money funded will go directly towards stipends.
At Rep the Future, we are committed to changing the game of democratic politics through bringing in a pertinent and often overlooked demographic: teenagers. Still new to the political world and motivated to fight injustice, young people bring in a fresh perspective on strategy, key issues, and narrative. This is incredibly important, as young people are impacted by policies yet too often lack the representation to influence them.

Learn more about Amalie Seth, the founder of Rep the Future:
Amalie Seth is a current high school junior at the Spence School in New York City. She is passionate about building up youth civic engagement to ensure everyone has access to the means of civic-participation, a core principle in our democracy. In addition to Rep the Future, Amalie serves as the National Director of Outreach and Engagement at Next Generation Politics and the Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Junior Economic Club of NYC.
Taking notice of the issues that plagued our country last summer and the failure of some of our elected officials to respond effectively, Amalie strived to take action in her community. She became actively involved in multiple campaigns, including the successful Mondaire Jones Congressional campaign. Amalie then went on to create a youth fellowship program for the Elizabeth Adams for City Council campaign, with the intention of not only helping the candidate win but also providing the opportunity to get involved in a campaign to students in her area. However, throughout her experiences, she remained aware of the ample resources and good fortune that had that allowed her to be civically involved, from access to civic education to being able to work without compensation.As such, she set out to create something that would allow all students, regardless of socioeconomic status, to help facilitate true change through campaigns, the backdoor into democracy. Thus, Rep the Future was founded.
