DAVE GREENSPAN, CUYAHOGA COUNTY COUNCIL CANDIDATE –
DISTRICT 1 |
|
PROPOSES
PROGRAM TO ENGAGE COUNTY’S YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT |
|
Westlake, OH April 14, 2010 –
Dave Greenspan,
candidate for the Cuyahoga County Council –District 1, proposed today
a program designed to engage our county’s youth in government through
the creation of an Internship program.
“This program is
designed to give our high school aged students an excellent
opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge and experience as to how the
NEW county government operates.” Greenspan said.
This program,
coupled with Greenspan’s proposed Ethics Ordinance demonstrates his
commitment to open, honest, fair and inclusive government. “If we are
to change the perception of Cuyahoga County government, we must engage
all of our citizens and this program is a step in that direction” says
Greenspan. |
Some
highlights of the program include:
|
 |
The Internship Program is open to students residing in Cuyahoga County who
are in 9th grade and above and enrolled in a public, parochial,
private, or home school program.
|
|
|
The Interns shall serve for one County Council meeting
|
|
|
The Intern is strongly encouraged to write a
brief paper, within two weeks of serving as an Intern, on his/her
experience. The County will publish the Intern's paper on its
website.
|
|
|
The County Clerk will submit the paper to
the Intern's school newspaper and local/community media for publication.
|
|
|
Each Intern will receive a certificate of
participation. |
|
|
|
Believing that
knowledge is power, Greenspan went on to say “we must provide the
right information to empower our youth to become active participants
in the democratic process. I believe this program will have a
positive impact on those who participate as well as our entire
community.”
Greenspan
believes that this program demonstrates ‘responsive and responsible”
leadership.
