Lt. Governor Kottkamp poses
with student panelistsThis event provides a forum for students from across the state to pose poignant questions to the Florida Children and Youth Cabinet about the state of children's issues and services. The 20-member Cabinet chaired by Lt. Governor Jeff Kottkamp, is comprised of government officials, policy makers, and children's developmental and advocacy experts. The Cabinet will hear from a twelve member student panel, selected from a statewide pool of student applicants.

The event is free, open to the public and takes place on Tuesday, April 13 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Tallahassee City Hall during the Children's Week "Children's Capital for a Day". The event will be filmed for statewide broadcast on The Florida Channel. Directly following the "Kids Only" Town Hall Meeting, the Florida Children and Youth Cabinet will conduct their general business meeting from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

To nominate a middle or high school student to participate on the 12-member student panel, please download our Student Panel Application. Completed Student Panel Applications must be received by Monday, February 1, 2010.
