Applications for this semester-long leadership program are open until Tuesday, Sept. 10.
“Our students are our future and it’s critical we give our young people the tools and opportunities needed to prepare for their work as the leaders of the next generation. That’s why I am excited to announce I am launching a Congressional Student Leadership Council for high school students in our district!” said Thompson. “This exciting program will offer the chance for students to work directly with me and my staff to develop their leadership skills, get to know how government works, and engage directly with our community. I encourage all interested students to apply and I look forward to seeing all they can accomplish.”
Thompson’s Congressional Student Leadership Council is open to all high school students in our district.
Applicants should be passionate about helping their community and eager to learn more about federal, state and local government.
This is a semester-long commitment where students will be expected to meet several times a month and complete a final project.
There will be a council for each of the five counties that Thompson represents, including Contra Costa, Lake, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties.
Students can click here to learn more and submit their application, which should be received no later than Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2019.

This program includes the Lake County and Colusa County Campuses of WCC.
The Promise Program incentivizes students to enroll as full time students and seek occupational certificates, an associate degree, or to meet transfer requirements to four-year colleges and universities.
Students who take advantage of the fall 2019 Promise Program are expected to enroll for the spring semester in January of 2020 to take full advantage of the program.
The Promise includes a full two years of tuition free registration. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to be eligible to receive a second tuition fee waiver for the 2020 to 2021 academic year.
This fee waiver program equates to over $500 per semester, or $1,000 per academic year. In order to qualify for the Promise program, applicants are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the California Dream Act Application.

Students who receive the incentive will be benefiting from what is called the Mendocino College Promise, and is thanks to Assembly Bill 19, which provides funding to California Community Colleges to accomplish district goals and waive fees for first-time students.
“It is critical that we spread the word about how affordable and attainable a college education can be,” said Vice President of Student Services Ulises Velasco. “The Mendocino College Promise program will eliminate the financial barriers facing some of our students and allow them to remain in our community as they seek a college degree.”
With current costs per unit of $46, the Mendocino College Promise Grant can save students up to $1,380 throughout the 2019-20 academic year.
The Mendocino College Promise is not based on financial need and is available to any first-time college student who completes 15 units in the fall 2019 semester and enrolls in 15 units again in the spring 2020 semester.
Once eligible students complete the fall semester and enroll in 15 units for the spring 2020 semester, they will receive a grant that covers their out-of-pocket enrollment expenses for both the fall 2019 and spring 2020 semesters.
“The Mendocino College Promise is an investment in our community and will support students as they pursue their academic goals,” said Mendocino College interim Superintendent/President Eileen Cichocki. “Studies show that students who take 15 units per semester have greater success in their classes and complete a degree and/or transfer in two years. The Mendocino College Promise is a win-win for our students and our community as a whole.”
“While this program will impact a small number of students at first, our intent is to partner with the Mendocino College Foundation and our community to grow this program,” said Vice President Velasco. “Our goal is for every student in our community to receive two years of free education at Mendocino College. We will continue working towards that goal and the Mendocino College Promise is a major first step in that direction.”
Those not currently enrolled at Mendocino College can apply now online at www.mendocino.edu for the fall semester which begins Aug. 19.
