Gov. Chris Sununu

CONCORD - Governor Chris Sununu announced the return of the "Governor for a Day" initiative on Friday after a hiatus due to COVID-19.

The initiative was launched in New Hampshire in 2018 to foster civic education and promote youth participation in government. The competition is once again open to all Middle and High School students across the Granite State.
"The Governor for a Day Program is an exciting opportunity to directly engage students in our state and local government," said Sununu. "I am thrilled that we are able to launch this program once again and I look forward to reading what New Hampshire students would do as Governor for a Day!"
Interested applicants are invited to submit a 250-500 word essay completing the sentence, "If I were Governor for a day, I would..." One individual will be selected to serve as the official student "Governor for a Day" and will be invited to join Governor Sununu for a day full of educational experiences.
Submissions are due by April 22 and may be submitted by email to GovernorForADay@nh.gov, by mail, or via Facebook Messenger (@GovernorChrisSununu).
