Governor’s Weekly Message: Encouraging Civic Engagement Among Youth

Wilmington – In his weekly message, Governor Markell highlights the importance of encouraging civic engagement among youth in Delaware.

“Studies show our students have an impressive commitment to volunteerism. They want to make a difference in our communities,” said Governor Markell. “So we need to ensure they understand just how much those communities are shaped by public servants, from how we support our schools to the capabilities of our police and fire departments.”

Every week, the Governor’s office releases a new Weekly Message in video, audio, and transcript form. The message is available on:
