In 2019, Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon launched the Congressional Youth Cabinet (CYC), a nonpartisan initiative to provide high school students in Pennsylvania’s 5th Congressional District with an opportunity to learn more about Congress and the policymaking process. Members of the CYC get to share their ideas about solving pressing issues facing young Americans, and will also have the opportunity to connect with other elected officials, peers, and community leaders.
Congresswoman Scanlon's Congressional Youth Cabinet is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year. Applicants must be high school juniors or seniors during the 2025-2026 academic year and either live in or attend school in Pennsylvania's 5th Congressional District. Applications will close on September 12, 2025. Interested applicants can apply here.
