Johns Creek Students Named Secretary of State Ambassadors
Nine student leaders from Student Leadership Johns Creek were named to Secretary State Brian Kemp's Ambassador Program
Nine students from Student Leadership Johns Creek representing all four high schools in Johns Creek were recently named to represent Johns Creek as Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s Ambassadors. They attended a kick-off with students from the metro Atlanta area at Kennesaw State University on August 30th where they were trained in how to register Georgians to vote.
The goal of the Secretary of State’s Ambassadors Program is to provide high school students an opportunity to engage as leaders within their school and community. Through this program, the students gain leadership experience by learning about and teaching Georgia civics to their peers, learning about voter registration, and promoting and encouraging other students and residents of Johns Creek to register to vote. The SLJC students will work individually and as a team to create a dialogue that gets first-time voters educated, excited, and engaged in the election process.
According to Secretary of State Kemp “This generation is the future of America. It is important that you and your friends become registered to vote to make sure your voice is represented in your government.”
