About the program

Students must attend a SCUSD, TRUSD, or NUSD high school OR live within the Sacramento city limits to qualify.

Summer @ City Hall (S@CH) is a six-week summer interactive learning experience that provides high school students the opportunity to learn about local government processes and how to become an active citizen in their community. Student participants are supported throughout the program by a variety of team members including credentialed teachers delivering a daily curriculum focusing on civic engagement, local level governmental structures, and youth development. Upon completion of the program, participants receive five high school elective credits (students that attend high schools outside of the partnering districts receive a letter of completion for all instructional time as community service hours) and a monetary stipend in the amount of $500.
