West Chester, Pa (Diciembre 11, 2023) – High school juniors interested in civics, public policy, and community service are invited to apply for state Senator Carolyn Comitta’s Student Advisory Council.
“Whenever I interact with young people and students from around Chester County, I’m always impressed by their interest in public service, knowledge of the issues, and eagerness to build a better tomorrow for all people,” Comitta said. “I invite interested students to apply for our Student Advisory Council to learn more about how the state legislature works and how they can be part of the process.”
The goal of the council is to bring together students from across Chester County to learn the roles and responsibilities within a state senate office and gather youth perspectives on the most pressing issues facing communities in Chester County and across the Commonwealth.
“This program aims to help develop the next generation of young community leaders while also garnering valuable insight from passionate, civically engaged students,” Comitta added.
As part of the council, students will have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in the various functions and operations of a state senate office including, constituent relations, communications and media relations, management and public administration, and legislative and policy development.
Interested applicants must be able to meet in Senator Comitta’s West Chester office on Lunes afternoons and be available virtually on Miércoles afternoons. The council will begin Lunes Enero 29th and run through Abril.
Students can apply by going to pasenatorcomitta.com/studentadvisorycouncil2024. Applications are due by Viernes, Enero 5th at 11:59 p.m.
For questions about the council and the application process, interested applicants can contact Senator Comitta’s Director of Constituent Services, Ethan Shaffer, ethan.shaffer@pasenate.com
