 Honoring the Future Forum on its successful second Youth Congress and 
its commitment to issues that affect young people, recognizes the youth 
  participants in Future Forum's town halls and youth congresses for 
 their commitment to public service, and expresses its best wishes for 
                           continued success.

Whereas Future Forum is a caucus comprising 35 young Members of Congress focused 
        on issues important to young Americans;
Whereas Future Forum aims to bridge the divide between young Americans and their 
        government, engage with and empower young voters, and inspire the next 
        generation of leaders in public service;
Whereas millennial Americans are now the largest generational group of Americans 
        at 22 percent of the population but only comprise 8.1 percent of the 
        Federal workforce;
Whereas it is critical that Congress work to increase the representation of 
        young American voices in the Federal Government;
Whereas Future Forum has partnered with youth-led organizations, including 
        YouthInGov, Pay Our Interns, Young Invincibles, and March For Our Lives, 
        to push for greater youth representation in government decisions, such 
        as the successful initiatives to create an Office of Young Americans 
        within the executive branch and extending the House Paid Internship 
        program to include Committee interns;
Whereas, on July 25 and 26, 2022, Future Forum hosted its second Youth Congress, 
        the first Youth Congress in the Nation's Capitol;
Whereas participants and coordinators in the Youth Congress included Paola 
        Arredondo, Tate Barrend, Jack Bosshardt, Kaytlin Brown, Madelyn Diaz, 
        Carmen Evans, Amaya Flores, John Gameiro, Haley Grove, Rayne Hayes, 
        Jupiter Huang, Giulio Iacoviello, Jack Katz, Danielle Kappler, Darcy 
        Keenan-Mills, Xavier Kent, Edwidge Labbe, Morgan Levi, Diego Lopez, 
        Alexis Matton, Cort McElroy, Abigail McWhirter, Sullivan Meyer, Meridian 
        Monthy, Jenna Mu, Namya Mysore, Suraj Pandit, Abhi Patel, McKenzie 
        Perkins, Chloe Raines, Bee Schaefer, Ambar Silveiro, Brandon Stokes, 
        Ruhi Thapar, Aishat Tiamiyu, Michelle Tran-Duong, Callen Wallace, Rodney 
        Wells, Greta West, Caleb Young, and Judy Zhang;
Whereas Future Forum's Youth Congress encouraged youth participants to learn 
        about Congressional Committee structure and the legislative process;
Whereas Youth Congress participants were given the opportunity to debate and be 
        heard on the most important political issues to American youth; and
Whereas Youth Congress provided networking opportunities essential to building a 
        coalition of young leaders in government: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors the Future Forum 
on its successful second Youth Congress and its commitment to issues 
that affect young people, recognizes the youth participants in Future 
Forum's town halls and youth congresses for their commitment to public 
service, and expresses its best wishes for continued success.
