Next Generation Voters Student Committee Meeting

Monday I helped facilitate our Student Committee Meeting for the Next Generation Voters that I am working to develop with Susan Gill, Citrus County Supervisor of Elections, and Patrick Thomas, Voter Outreach Coordinator for the Elections Office.  What a powerful evening we had with some impressive young people!  We hoped to provide a setting to have the students bring forward ten or more topics that we could narrow down to the three top topics for the November 14th Town Hall meeting.  After a great deal of brainstorming, conversation, debate and reflections, the young people identified topics/issues that they felt had risen to the top of the list and were important.   I must say I was excited and somewhat surprised with the subjects that they had placed into this category as being important issues/topics for them both today and into the immediate future. After that we had them rank the topics/issues according to what they felt was most important to them and/or to their peer group.  They came up with three impressive topics that I will share more about after the November event!

We did not want to lead the students to any specific issues or concerns, so these are issues or topics that they alone have identified.

If you know of any high school young people that you think would be interested in being a part of this event please point them to visit us at www.facebook.com/NextGenerationVoters.
