Advise and Consent
Description:
In this unit, students will take the “advise and consent” model used by the President and the Senate. They will understand the concept of limiting power in governmental decision-making. The importance of citizen participation in their communities is stressed as well as the role of nonprofits, especially community foundations, in improving the common good. Students will learn a simplified form of parliamentary procedure to use in conducting business sessions and will form Youth Advisory Committees to make recommendations to a Board of Directors for granting money which they have earned as a group.
