Racine County Youth in Governance
Do you know of a youth who is curious about or interested in government? Consider nominating them for the Racine County Youth in Governance program. We are now accepting nominations for the 2022-2023 program year.
Youth in Governance is an opportunity where students can contribute their voice to community issues and develop their confidence, independence, leadership skills, and civic knowledge while serving on one of five County Board committees for an entire year.
The requirements to participate in Youth in Governance are:
• Freshman, sophomore, or junior at the time of application;
• GPA of 2.5 or greater on a 4.0 scale;
• Racine County resident;
• Attend monthly meetings, typically occurring once or twice per month;
• Attend the orientation in April, the mentor/mentee meeting in May, and the two bus tours of Racine County
departments in June.
