Harrison Public Schools junior John Bray has been selected to participate in Senator John Boozman’s Congressional Youth Cabinet. The Youth Cabinet provides selected high school students in Arkansas with an opportunity to influence the policymaking process and better understand how Congress works. The goal of this program is to foster a lifetime commitment to civic engagement and public service. Senator Boozman feels very strongly that we should all be “givers” in our towns and cities where we live.
“I’m pleased to recognize Arkansas’s next generation of leaders who are interested in getting involved and making a difference in their schools and communities,” Boozman said. “We had a record number of applicants this year and I am encouraged that John and so many other students want to learn about public service and how to help shape the future of Arkansas and our country.”
This Congressional Youth Cabinet is a nonpartisan initiative that will expose students to the importance of the legislative process and ways that citizens can get involved. Members of the cabinet will also have the opportunity to provide Senator Boozman with their own ideas about solving current issues facing young Americans.
Youth cabinet members will serve a one-year term which begins in the fall. Their term will be served with other selected students within their Congressional District.
Congratulations, John!
