This pre-institute opportunity will allow participants to observe Mikva students in action during their Think Tank Summer where they are learning how to work collaboratively to research and analyze a policy issue so they can make recommendations to a decision maker by the end of the summer. Participants will be led by Mikva's Chief Program Officer through an overview of the Mikva Youth Council process then visit a council in action. Participants will then meet to debrief the experience. A Q&A will follow.
