Congratulations are in order to our very own Mike Tiktinsky, recipient of the Constitutional Rights Foundation's Commitment to Youth award.

The Constitutional Rights Foundation recognized Mike for his years of work in the Napa County High School mock trial program. Mike coached the Napa High School mock trial team for five years, taking them to the state championships each year. He then became coordinator of Napa County's high school mock trial program, which he did for five more years.

With a mission to educate young people so they may become active participants in society, the Constitutional Rights Foundation sponsors a number of programs for educators and students throughout the United States.
