Washington, DC,
May 3, 2019
– Today, Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon announced the first Congressional Youth Cabinet (CYC), a nonpartisan initiative open to sophomores and juniors in high school. The CYC will provide students in Pennsylvania’s 5th congressional district with an opportunity to learn more about how Congress works and to influence the policymaking process. “This generation has inspired me through their engagement and participation in our civic discourse,” Congresswoman Scanlon said. “The goal of the Congressional Youth Cabinet is to foster a lifetime commitment to civic engagement and public service, by giving young people in our district a front seat to our democracy.” Members of the CYC will also have the opportunity to provide Congresswoman Scanlon with their own ideas about solving pressing issues facing young Americans. Members will also have the opportunity to connect with other elected officials, peers, and community leaders. To be considered for membership in the Congressional Youth Cabinet, students must complete and submit an application via mail or email to the District Office by May 17, 2019. If mailed, please send to 927 E Baltimore Ave, Suite J, East Lansdowne PA 19050. If emailed, please send to Rose.Rice@mail.house.gov. Applications can be found at http://scanlon.house.gov. |
