🗳️🇺🇸 The votes are in!

Here are the results of our 2026 YOUth Vote Mock Election!

Students across Georgia had the opportunity to step into the role of voters, cast their ballots, and experience an important part of the democratic process firsthand.

Through YOUth Vote, students are encouraged to learn about elections, explore the importance of informed decision-making, and understand how their voices can help shape the future of their communities, state, and nation.

At ENGAGE – Youth in Government, we believe civic engagement starts long before you're old enough to vote. Every opportunity to learn, participate, and make your voice heard is a step toward becoming an engaged citizen!

Leading by example, one vote at a time! 🗳️

At ENGAGE – Youth in Government, we don't just teach the importance of civic engagement — we live it!

Our staff proudly exercised their right to vote, putting into action the very values we encourage in our students every day.

We believe that civic leadership starts with participation, and we're proud to lead by example!

We're not just teaching the next generation of engaged citizens — we're showing them what it looks like! 🇺🇸

We’re excited to announce Wes Cantrell as our featured speaker for the 82nd Annual Youth Governor’s Luncheon on November 17!

A current pastor, former educator, and former Georgia State Representative, Wes has dedicated much of his life to serving his community. From 2015 to 2022, he represented District 22 in the Georgia House, voluntarily stepping away after four terms because of his belief that elected office should be a season of service rather than a career.

In his book, "The Job I Never Wanted: A Reluctant Politician’s Journey Under the Gold Dome," Wes shares the unexpected journey that led him into public office and the people, experiences, and lessons that shaped his time under the Gold Dome.

📚 We're also excited to share that Wes's book will be available for purchase at the luncheon!

We look forward to welcoming Wes and hearing his perspective on leadership and public service as we celebrate the accomplishments of our ENGAGE students!

🚒🚓 Happy National First Responders Day!

Today, we honor the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, and other first responders who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving our communities.

At ENGAGE – Youth in Government, we're proud to be part of Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) and to help build a pipeline to careers in public service.

Through civic education, leadership development, and hands-on experiences, we're preparing the next generation of leaders who may one day serve their communities as firefighters, police officers, emergency responders, and other public servants.

The future of public service starts with today's students.

To all first responders, thank you for your courage, commitment, and service. We are proud to celebrate you today and every day!
