  • Join an Action Group

    Young Citizens League members are organizing another round of the Action Groups. This year, we're forming groups around the broad topics of education, poverty, and financial literacy.

    Each group will:
    • Identify a question to work on within their policy area
    • Talk to people and do research to learn about the question
    • Make a plan to address the question
    • Put the plan into action
    The groups are member-organized, but they'll receive support from and build relationships with experienced Citizens League members and staff.

    The Action Groups will kick off with a get-together on:

    Tuesday, January 27th
    6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
    Five Event Center
    2917 Bryant Avenue S, Minneapolis
    Registration is free and dinner will be provided

    Every generation has its own unique approach to policy. As the next generation prepares to lead public policy decision-making in Minnesota, we need to harness the political wisdom and experience of previous generations and the enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit of the millennial generation.
