Jacksonville Job Corps student leaders and three staff members visited the Florida State Capitol in March 2020. Senate Leader Audrey Gibson invited the students for a tour at the capital to assist in understanding state government. In order to be selected for the field trip students were asked to write an essay about state government. Essays were inspiring and provided the students an opportunity to be enlighten about how state government operates.

Students visited the Governor’s Office, State Attorney General , Senator Leader Audrey Gibson, Representative Tracy Davis and Kimberly Daniels. Students visited both the senate and house side of the capitol. Senate Leader Gibson met with the students and shared what her job responsibilities consist of.

The students ended their tour by sitting in on an ongoing legislative session and visiting the capital museum. It was an amazing trip and both students and staff.
