VIDEO:  Youthbuild Voting
 
 
We visit newly registered young voters in Saint Louis, many of whom will be voting for the first time. The subjects are in the Frieden's House Youthbuild, a program that teaches young people in the construction trade and helps educate them to get their GED. The subjects discuss their thoughts on civic engagement, voting and their life.
