We ask that each student schedule a meeting with their Senator and Representative. To find out who that is for your area, visit http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/. In between meetings, students can take tours of the Statehouse, attend session or committee meetings. They are also welcome to attend meetings with legislators along with other students although we ask they keep groups to a maximum of 3. OPA representatives will also be available to attend meetings with you, if desired. There is no cost to attend, but attendees must be registered.
