This year, FHN is adopting a new club for students who want to experience what it’s like to work in government positions. The Youth and Government club, formed by junior Harper Schneider, stimulates a real government and gives students the choice to be in either the Legislative, Executive or Judicial Branch.
“The students basically do what each real branch does,” club sponsor Jill Rudolph said. “If they join the Legislative Branch, they write bills and they submit them at the conference.
The Executive Branch is going to practice leadership and then the Judicial Branch is going to get a case and decide the outcome of that case.”
The club has been struggling to find members, so they are more than willing to take in anyone who is interested in joining.
“I think more students should join because it’s a good way to be involved,” Rudolph said. “Colleges that offer scholarships want to take in students who have been in some type of leadership position.”
Rudolph encourages students to find out more about the club by paying her a visit in room 1419.
“Youth and Government is a great hands-on way to see what government is about,” Rudolph said.
