Forty students from Kentucky, participating in the Christian Appalachian Project’s (CAP) Youth Enrichment Services program, are set to travel to Washington D.C. on October 4th.

The students, including Arryuanna Rhodus, a sophomore at Madison Central High School, and Jordan Weaver, a senior at Rockcastle County High School, expressed excitement for the new experience, with Rhodus noting it will be the furthest east she has ever traveled. Tina Bryson, director of the Christian Appalachian Project, highlighted that the trip will allow students to witness the lawmaking process firsthand, observing where laws that impact their lives in Kentucky are created.
