 The Macomb County Board of Commissioners Student Government Day Program serves as an opportunity to provide our community’s youth the opportunity to learn the purpose and mechanics of county-level government and be able to participate in a way to further their understanding of how local government works. Students who recognize and understand this will become more informed and involved citizens and voters.
The first part of this program is an essay contest. This is open to all Macomb County students at public and private schools in grades 9th-12th. Essays must adhere to the 2023/2024 essay topic and be submitted no later than Friday, December 16, 2023. No late entries will be accepted.
Once all submissions have been carefully reviewed, the Commissioners will choose their favorite essays and invite those students to participate in a Student Government Day at the Macomb County Board of Commissioners office in downtown Mount Clemens in mid to late January 2024. Exact date and tentative schedule will be available by the essay deadline.

The Board of Commissioners is pleased to announce the continuation of the Macomb County Casual Day Charitable Collections Program for 2024. With department leader permission, participating employees may wear casual clothing to work on Fridays/designated days if they donate at least one dollar. Departments must collect and send their donations to the Board office in a timely fashion.
Written requests for 2024 charities must be received by the Board office no later than Friday, December 9, 2023. All requests must be on letterhead from a designated official of the charity and accompanied by a current 501(c)(3) certificate and solicitation license from the State Attorney General’s Office. Please note full criteria and guidelines.
The Casual Day program was first adopted by resolution of the Board of Commissioners in 1994 and it has continued to grow thanks to Macomb County employees' commitment to helping others. Since the program’s inception, nearly $713,000 has been generously donated to various charities.
