National Self Government Committee (New York, N.Y.)

The National Self Government Committee was founded in New York City in 1904 by Richard Welling as the School Citizens Committee "to develop the alert citizens needed in a democracy by practice in schools, colleges and other youth groups." The organization is composed of educators and others interested in education for effective leadership and it supports school/community service programs that actively include students in the self-government process.
