CITIZENSHIP-WASHINGTON
FOCUS
The 2008 Citizenship-Washington Focus (CWF) program will help youth understand
how their individual actions can make a difference in our world. Conducted
in Washington, DC, CWF uses our nation's capital as a
classroom to foster youth appreciation, understanding and involvement in
civic responsibility, government operations and current issues.
Citizenship-Washington Focus helps youth identify and understand
their active role in society. This unique 4-H youth program combines
educational workshops and operational simulations with educational field
trips and professional consultations. Topic highlights include youth
issues, the U. S.
Constitution and the federal government.
