Miguel's Corner

The job that young government leaders do improves the lives and the communities around us. Public service is dedication to our country and to our people; public service is not just a job, but a call to make a difference in people’s lives. This week, we celebrate Public Service Recognition Week with the theme “Honoring our Public Servants. Connecting Citizens with their Government.” In YGL, we celebrate all the youngsters across the nation who answered the call to serve our country.  Join us throughout the week with the hashtag #iHeartgov #YGLdoesgood and tell us why you love public service.
