When you read the phrase "Government in Action Youth Tour," you probably pictured standing in a stuffy office in D.C. with a bunch of government nerds, getting a history lecture. Not how you want to spend part of your summer vacation, right?
That's why this trip is different. It's free, you get to meet people your own age, experience a new city and enjoy yourself on your summer vacation - because that's what you're supposed to do. It's so much fun, you won't even notice how much you're learning about yourself and your country.
