Eight members of Collbran Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center’s SGA heard President Obama speak August 8th at Grand Junction, Colorado High School. Jeff Thompson, Mattisha Mercado, Dalaun Shields, Anthony Lambiase, Alexis Oquinn, Jeromie Garoutte, Michael Brown and Zachery Lock described it as an opportunity of a life time.

     Following the speech KKCO Channel 11, Grand Junction’s NBC affiliate, interviewed all eight students live. Students commented positively on President Obama’s views on the economy, taxes, women’s rights and education.

     Collbran Job Corps’ relationship with members of Senator Mark Udall’s Grand Juction office and the Kids Voting Mesa County initiative helped secure tickets for the event.
