Model Legislature is an activity where students from high schools across Rhode Island create, debate and pass their bills through a mock general assembly.  Students learn about their government by actively participating in the legislative process. Contact Mr. Nolan (nolanmichael@coventryschools.net) for details. 

The Student Civic Liaison Program is a new initiative of Secretary Amore and the RI Department of State, designed to create connections between local students and their government. The program will take place over the 2023-2024 academic year, with students meeting monthly to hear from community leaders, elected officials, and education and non-profit professionals.  

The goal of the program is to expand educational and networking opportunities for civically-engaged Rhode Island students and to foster connections between local students and school communities and the RI Department of State. In addition to monthly sessions and networking opportunities, Student Civic Liaisons may take part in community-focused initiatives such as organizing voting registration drives, creating a civic engagement club, recruiting youth poll workers for primary and general elections, and developing programs that will make a difference in their high schools.
