Two high school students have been chosen to represent Iowa at the 63rd annual United States Senate Youth Program in Washington, D.C., on March 1st-8th. Tori Paga, a senior at Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School, and Isaac Vosburg, a senior at Hampton-Dumont-CAL High School, will serve as Iowa’s two delegates for the USSYP and will join over 100 other student leaders for Washington Week, a week-long government and leadership experience in the nation’s capital. As delegates, Tori and Isaac will also each receive a 10-thousand dollar college scholarship to use towards their undergraduate studies.
Vosburg currently serves as vice-president for the Iowa Association of Student Councils, which allows him to represent and work on behalf of all Iowa students. He has served as club president for 4-H, class president, representative and student body vice president, and participated in several varsity sports teams, and last year, spent a year in Malaysia as part of an exchange and study abroad program.
