Ben Ku enjoyed speaking with the Gwinnett Youth Commission last week. The Gwinnett 101 Citizens Academy’s 2019 spring cohort is wrapping up soon, so they’re accepting applications for the fall, which runs August 29 to November 19.
Gwinnett 101 is a 12-week program offered twice each year that aims to develop and nurture informed and engaged residents, students, and business owners. Those who take part in this program will interact with leaders in their county government, visit county facilities to get a first-hand glimpse of how the county works, and build a network with others who live, work, and learn in Gwinnett County. As an alumnus of Gwinnett 101, Ben Ku can tell you that this is a great way to learn about your county government.
