James McCorkle '19 finds passion in Youth Government

Each spring, the YMCA Center for Civic Engagement sponsors three state wide Youth in Government Conferences. James McCorkle '19 recently participated in the simulation of the legislative branch, where he served as a House Representative. The event took place at government buildings in Nashville and James and his team drafted, presented, and debated their bill that passed both the House and the Senate. 


McCorkle was also inducted into The Order of the Arrow; the honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America, composed of Scouts who best exemplify the scout oath and law in their daily lives, as elected by their peers.
