Welcome to the Young Citizens' Page!

The Connecticut Foundation for Open Government (“CFOG”) is a nonprofit organization committed to promoting people's understanding of what their government is doing, 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.
