Funds raised are used throughout the year to facilitate Youth Commissioner learning sessions about government, how it works, and how they can be more involved. This past year, students were able to visit Atlanta to learn about state government and Washington, D.C. to learn about the federal government. They also were able to attend several conferences and network with student leaders from around the state and globe.
