Each year we sponsor students to attend the Young People's Citizenship Seminar, held at the Northwood University Campus in Midland, MI. The 2012 seminar will be held June 25 - 28. This Seminar is for 2012-2013 high school Juniors and Seniors and helps students to learn about the democratic political process and how to become informed, active citizens. We do ask for a $20 commitment fee that will be returned after a student attends the seminar.
Additional information can be found on the YPCS Website.
Interested Students need to turn in their applications to the county office by April 4th.
