Salem Prepares For 42nd Annual Student Government Day

From the Salem Youth Commission: The Salem Youth Commission invites Salem students ages 15-21 (or grades 10-12) to participate in the 42nd annual Student Government Day on April 12, 2018.

Student Government Day allows students to learn directly about the community by assuming the roles and responsibilities of officials in government, education, the media, and other community partners. By participation in this program, students can gain a better understanding of and develop an interest in different career opportunities in Salem.

This is the 2nd year that Student Government Day is being organized by the Salem Youth Commission and it is once again scheduled for a full day, Thursday, April 12, 2018. This day includes an opportunity to shadow a community member in a field of their choice, lunch, and concludes with a mock City Council meeting/debate.

Salem youth interested in signing up for Student Government Day should complete the form available here before Friday April 6. For more information or if you have questions, you can contact the Youth Commission at 978-619-5601 or SalemYC@salem.com.
