Russell County’s NexGen Civics Club is earning national recognition.
The club, which includes 20 local high school students, recently won a national award for Civic Education and Public Information from the National Association of Counties.
The NexGen Civics Club was designed to develop long-term community leaders through leadership training, youth engagement, educational activities, civic participation and more.
The club will officially be recognized at the National Association of Counties Conference in New Orleans next month.
