Congressman Kissell Announces Congressional Youth Council
Application Deadline is July 10
CONCORD –In an effort to get students from across the 8th District more involved in learning about the United States government and interested in public service, Congressman Larry Kissell (NC-08) has formed a Congressional Youth Council.  The Youth Council is open to young people between the ages of 14 and 19. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about government, the processes involved with shaping public policy and advise Congressman Kissell on issues important to the youth of the 8th District.
“As a former social studies teacher, I believe it is imperative to get our young people involved in their government and to allow them to see how government functions,” Kissell said. “My hope is this Youth Council will create more interest among our teens to learn about how government works and how they can make a difference through public service.”
Students interested in participating can find an application available on Kissell’s website, www.kissell.house.gov. In addition, educators and guidance counselors are encouraged to nominate students. 
For more information, please contact Mallory Morris at (704) 786-1612. Completed applications must be submitted to Kissell’s Concord District Office by July 10.
