Students of all ages dream of becoming president of the United States one day, but few have the opportunity to sit at the resolute desk or engage in a situation room role playing experience to fully understand what it means to be president.

Our once-in-a-lifetime experience serves as a hub for much needed access to presidential materials for research and education, especially for future generations.
