Testimonials
- “This program is a great tool to get to know the U.S. government and how it affects our daily lives. Even if you are not interested in pursuing a career in law, Hometowns is very valuable to understand how your government and judicial system work.” Gianna B.
- “I would definitely recommend Hometowns to any student who wants to learn about the Supreme Court and I encourage everyone to join the program even if they don’t know anything about it. When I applied I didn’t know anything about the judicial branch, now I’m explaining to my dad how it works and why they grant certiorari to some cases and not to others.” – Josue M.
