Youth in Government

I am one of the teachers for WHHS' Youth In Government! The Youth in Government program helps to create the next generation of good citizens. Through this program, YIG hopes to demystify local, state and national governmental systems so tomorrow's adults will know how to effect change within these systems.

The program uses the service-learning model in the firm belief that leadership is developed by doing. High school students help provide leadership for our middle school programs, while college students -- alumni of the Youth in Government program -- provide leadership for our high school programming.
