Local Students Attend White House Youth Engagement Forum

Fox 5 was there as 60 high school students from Prince George's and Prince William Counties heard from Captain America actor Chris Evans and other government officials. Evans and actor, director and producer Mark Kassan are the founders of A Starting Point. The civic engagement platform is a non partisan channel of communication that connects Americans with elected officials to inform. All the students at the forum are members of Close Up. The foundation based in the DMV is a nonprofit, nonpartisan civic organization that has brought millions of students to Washington D.C. for a close up view of the federal government.
