Welcome to the
Young Citizens' Page!

This page is being developed for the young citizens of Connecticut because you have an important stake in obtaining public information. We will be posting on this page material that we think will be useful to you in understanding your rights as citizens of the state. But, we also want to hear from you about what you would like to know and what information you want posted on this page.
This page is a work in progress, so please continue to visit us to see what's new that may be of interest to you.
CFOG ESSAY CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT
The Connecticut Foundation for Open Government (“CFOG”) is a nonprofit organization committed to promoting open government, a concept that is at the heart of our democratic society. One of CFOG’s goals is to increase awareness among younger citizens about the importance of the state Freedom of Information Act, which ensures citizen access to government records and meetings, and the impact the act has on their daily lives.
For a third year, CFOG sponsored an essay contest for high school students on freedom of information. Cash prizes were awarded to the top four entries.
