Citizenship in Action

By: Devin Ramsey, 4-H and Youth Development Agent

Do you have a child that is interested in learning more about government and laws? Have them attend Citizenship In Action. This is a great event sponsored by Kansas 4-H Youth Leadership Council. The purpose of this two-day event is for Kansas youth to learn how the state legislative process works and how they can make a difference in their communities. Normally this event takes place in person in Topeka so that the youth can see the capitol building but this year it is going to be virtual.

CIA is February 14th-15th youth must be 13-18 years old before January 1, 2021. Youth do not need to be in 4-H to participate. You must register by February 1st there is a small fee to help cover costs of $35 this will include a t-shirt.
