Join us for exciting open-source democracy experiment! By now you’ve heard about the National Youth Summit that the Department of Education is hosting in DC on February 26 in DC. It’ll bring young people from across the country together with adult leaders for an authentic exchange of ideas on education reform and what students need to finish high school ready to attend – and complete– college or training.

Registration for the Summit filled quickly but there is still a big opportunity for you to have a voice on these issues because we know they matter to you.

The Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, has agreed to answer the top questions chosen by you on SparkAction.org. NCoC has partnered with SparkAction.org to make sure your voice is in the mix.

WHAT: Visit http://sparkaction.org/summit and suggest questions that you want Secretary Duncan to answer. Check out what other young people have suggested and then use your five (5) votes to choose your favorites – you can choose your own or others posted by the SparkAction community.

WHEN: Starting Wednesday, February 9.

But hurry! Voting closes on February 18th. Don’t miss a chance to have your voice included. For more details and full instructions, visit http://sparkaction.org/summit



Please note: Secretary Duncan's participation in this contest does not imply endorsement of the National Conference on Citizenship, SparkAction or the Forum for Youth Investment by the Secretary or the Department of Education.
