CRGD Policy Clubs
Student led clubs that read, debate and write about public policy, run simulations and contribute to CRGD's work.
A CRGD Policy Club is a group of students who meet regularly to discuss public policy. Clubs choose their own topics and activities, with support from CRGD.
Typical activities
- Discussion of a policy issue in the news, with a short reading
- Budget simulations, in which members balance a state or college budget
- Mock assemblies and committee hearings
- Field visits to local government offices and public institutions
- Writing for the Young Thoughts series
Starting a club
- Gather at least five interested students.
- Find a faculty member willing to support the club.
- Register the club with CRGD by email.
- Receive the starter kit and plan your first meeting.
Clubs are non partisan. They welcome members of all political views and do not campaign for any party.
