State and local government supports and impacts our daily lives much more than people realize. Since 2000, the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs (PSAB) has been promoting and encouraging high school students to get involved and learn more about borough government in the Commonwealth by becoming a Junior Council Person. Since that time, hundreds of students have participated in the JCP program in boroughs throughout the state. The JCP Program is an outstanding opportunity for young leaders of the boroughs to participate in the governing process of their own communities. Our hope is that this experience will spark an interest in future involvement: as voters, elected officials and/or engaged citizens. Likewise, Collegeville Borough Government can benefit now from the voices and concerns raised by our young people. The PSAB and Collegeville Borough believe that this partnership between the community and youth will build better municipal government for future generations.
