The Congressional Youth Cabinet is an initiative that will provide Tampa Bay students the opportunity to discuss public policy issues that matter to them, learn about the legislative process, and find ways that young citizens can serve as effective agents for positive change. Members of the cabinet will have the opportunity to provide Congresswoman Castor with their own ideas about solving pressing issues facing young neighbors across Tampa Bay and the nation.
The Congressional Youth Cabinet will provide student members with a unique opportunity to connect with special guests, peers, and community leaders, while gaining a deep understanding of how they can make a positive difference for their neighbors and community.
