LegiSchool项目

The LegiSchool项目 is a civic education collaboration between 加州州立大学,萨克拉门托, 以及加州立法机构, administered by the 加州研究中心. The Project’s mission is to engage 加州’s high school students in matters of public policy and state government by creating opportunities for students and state leaders to meet and share ideas on issues affecting 加州ns. 这样做的时候, we hope to motivate young people to take an interest in the public life around them and to encourage their active participation in our political process.
