Thanks to the generous support of community members and members of El Dorado Progressives there is now an opportunity for El Dorado County high school students who are committed to the cause of ending gun violence and mass shooting in our schools to attend the 3/24 March for our Lives in Washington, DC.

To be considered for this trip, students must complete and return this application and submit a 300-word essay no later than March 16, 2018. This contest is open to high school students of Union Mine, El Dorado, Ponderosa, Oak Ridge, Virtual Academy, and High School aged students of El Dorado County Charter Schools (CCP, CUP, and CCA). The selection committee will select the best essays and will notify qualifying students on 3/19/18 if they have been selected.

The application form can be found HERE.

All essays and applications must be sent to: eldoradoprogressives@gmail.com with the subject line “March for Our Lives.”

All donations to EDP though March 19 will support the students' trip. To donate for the trip, click here.
