From its inception, young people have played an invaluable role in pushing our nation forward. Our students should be given every opportunity to learn about our democratic process, share their perspectives, and have their voices heard,” said Congresswoman McClellan. “Throughout my career in public office, I have worked to demystify our political processes, inform my constituents, and empower them to participate. My inaugural Youth Advisory Council program will give high school students in Virginia’s Fourth the opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of Congress, the role of congressional staff, and my work in Washington.” Open to all high school students currently residing or attending school in Virginia’s Fourth Congressional District, the Youth Advisory Council consists of monthly meetings with members of McClellan’s Washington, D.C. and District staff. Council members will delve into the legislative process, constituent casework and district outreach, and congressional communications and media relations.

The application period is now open. Eligible high school students can submit their applications now until December 30th, 2024. The Council will begin in late January and run through early May. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
