Counties Work

Can you run your county? You'll have to help fellow-citizens while managing taxes and local emergencies. Plus, keep an eye on reelection!

  • Let your students try their hand at running their own county government. Students will create and run their very own county and work across departments to turn their ideas into reality.

    In Counties Work, students will discover what the county government does while stepping into the role of a county official. They will stay on top of resident requests, make important budgeting decisions, and solve crises that pop up along the way. Students will see what county departments have solutions as they work to balance the budget and keep citizens happy.
