The Institute’s Governments Engaging Youth (GEY) project seeks to support, expand and enhance school and local government partnerships to develop programs that offer our younger generation the opportunity to learn about public service careers, community issues and how to become a more engaged, civic-minded individual. 

This toolkit offers resources designed to help begin, grow or expand a youth engagement in your community’s programs by providing a framework, assessment tools and case stories highlighting the broad variety of options available to suit your community’s unique needs.
