This is a leadership opportunity and it looks great on your college applications. You will experience “hands on” how our local and state government works. Students actually run for different offices. Cost is covered by the American Legion. You will meet other juniors from all parts of Minnesota and have fun interacting with them. Please stop in Student Services to sign up.
