MN FCCLA was represented by Garrett, Lauryn and Wendy at the Youth Service Institute in Washington DC October 6-9. It was awesome to be with the leaders of service-learning and youth leadership programs. We also a presented a workshop session about engaging elected officials with co-presenters from National Youth Leadership Council and National Service Learning Partnership.
