Classroom 2 Capitol aims to bring in current and past elected officials directly into the classroom. The intent is to allow students to interact and engage with officials to fully understand the responsibility and capability associated with holding office. We hope to inspire tomorrow's leaders by seeing today's officials.

Classroom 2 Capitol is a proud partner of the Youth and Government program in the Mahoning Valley.  The Ohio YMCA's Youth & Government Program enhances development of the American democratic process for young people through participatory training in the theory and practice of the Ohio state government.

Students in the program learn about the legislative process, how to write and research bills, and how to participate in the electoral process.

The story behind classroom 2 capitol

DIVERSITY and INCLUSION

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION POLICY

Classroom 2 Capitol is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse organization where all board members, staff, volunteers, and clients are treated with respect and fairness  regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation or identity, disability, education, or any other bias. Classroom 2 Capitol will communicate and exemplify that commitment to our board members, staff, volunteers, and clients through our policies and actions. We’re committed to modeling diversity, inclusion, and equity and maintaining fair and equal treatment for all; in fact, equity for the historically underserved is at the heart of our very purpose.  

Our board’s philosophy on our goals to provide informed leadership for diversity, inclusion, and equity include:

 

  • We will strive to see diversity, inclusion, and equity in connection with our vision and mission for the benefit of those we serve. 
  • We aim to recognize and address inequities in our policies, programs, and services. 
  • We will update and document progress on our diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. 
  • We promise to investigate underlying assumptions that interfere with our diversity policy. 
  • We commit to advocating for systemic inequities that impact our work at the board level and address it according to this policy and in accordance with our mission. 
  • We commit to being transparent about diversity in all our interactions. 
  • We will dedicate our time and resources to expanding greater diversity within our board and leadership positions. 
  • We commit to leading with respect and tolerance and we require all employees and volunteers to express this in their work within our organization.

 

Classroom 2 Capitol aims to achieve a broad representation of economic backgrounds and statuses; gender; race; ethnicity; religion; sexual orientation; gender identity/expression; physical ability; age; family status; geographical background and status; and perspective, in the content we produce, the professionals we work with, and the employees we hire and develop.
