<p>What actvities outside of school do you suggest someone who is interested in history and government get involved in?</p>
<p>There are zillions of things you could do:
political campaigns, Young Democrats/Republicans/Libertarians/etc, Speech and Debate, Boys'/Girls' State, any of those Congressional Youth Leadership Council things, any sort of community service, political activist groups, internships with history or govt professors......any of those</p>
<p>Jsa! J S A ! ! !</p>
<p>Boys' State was probably the best experience I've had in my entire life so far.</p>
<p>Girls' State was probably the worst.</p>
<p>Well, it wasn't that awful, but seriously, there is so much cattiness and cliquishness that it's not fun at all. It was such a popularity contest. But maybe yours is different.</p>
<p>that's what I heard from our Girls' State Rep. She wanted to come home after a day.</p>
