Connecticut's Kid Governor is an award-winning, statewide civics program created by the Connecticut Public Affairs Network (CPAN). It teaches 5th graders about state government, voting and elections, and civic engagement through a real election of a Kid Governor each fall. The winning Kid Governor serves a one-year term of leadership and advocacy, sharing his or her platform with students and adults across Connecticut.
Volunteers are needed for periodic, short-term as well as long-term opportunities in the areas of research, planning and hands-on projects. Many opportunities will take place at Connecticut's Old State House in Hartford.

Description
The Connecticut Public Affairs Network (CPAN) is experienced in teaching and engaging audiences in civics and civic engagement. Since 1997, CPAN has strengthened civic engagement among people of all ages, backgrounds and political persuasions by providing comprehensive and educational programming and outreach centered on civics, citizenship and civil discourse. In 2008, CPAN assumed management of the educational and community programs at Connecticut’s Old State House and since then has delivered meaningful school field trip programs about history and civics to thousands of Connecticut students. In addition, CPAN’s statewide Connecticut History Day (management assumed in 2011) and Connecticut’s Kid Governor (launched in 2015) programs have been recognized for their success in teaching elementary, middle and high school students about history, civics, inquiry, and taking informed action. CPAN’s award-winning programs have reached audiences in 151 of Connecticut’s 169 towns.
