Citizenship Washington Focus

July 7-14, 2012

National 4-H Center
7100 Connecticut Ave.
Chevy Chase, MD 20815 (Clinton County)

Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) is a week-long program that will provide delegates with insights into the workings of our federal government.

This opportunity offers youth delegates with an opportunity to tour their nation's capitol while learning about the federal legislative process and how it affects their local communities.

CWF is open to 4-H and Extension-related youth delegates ages 14-18 by May 1, 2012. Adult Chaperones must be age 21 and must have been approved by the University of Illinois Extension Volunteer Screening procedures. They must also have completed the on-line Overnight Chaperone Orientation Certification at: http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/4hchaperone/.

Illinois delegates travel to Washington, D.C. in even-numbered years only. The next trip is scheduled for Saturday, July 7 through Saturday, July 14, 2012. Delegates stay at the National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, MD.

The 2012 trip will cost delegates approximately $1,120. (The price is dependent upon the number of delegates who register. Fewer delegates than planned may increase the cost per delegate for bus transportation, etc.) This registration fee covers bus transportation to, from, and around Washington, D.C.; CWF programming; room and board at the National 4-H Center; and most meals. Adult chaperones are asked to pay $500 for their trip. Some local Extension offices may offer scholarships for delegates; delegates should check with their local University of Illinois Extension staff about that possibility.
