Teens ages 13–19 will enjoy a special program hosted by Generation Joshua. Students will take part in iElect, a mock presidential election that gives them the chance to experience the challenges of running for the highest office in the land. They will form their own political parties, develop their platforms, and select their own candidates to represent them. Students will also lobby outside participants, convincing them to vote for the party nominees and become high-dollar campaign donors (with fake money, of course). Through this simulation, students will learn the ins and outs of grassroots campaigns, the nomination process, and what it takes to be a leader.
