YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT
Celebrating its 65th year in Washington State, this non-partisan eight-month program is designed to give teens a "hands-on" experience running a model state legislature. Youth & Government gives teens, in grades 8-12, the opportunity to become civically engaged in an environment that is not only educational, but exciting and fun!
Teens run for elected positions as state officers, senator, representative, reporter, lobbyist page. Teens investigate, research and debate issues write bills and pass mock laws.
Learn and practice leadership skills, meet state and local officials and become familiar with State government in a fun and exciting way!
The program culminates with the 65th YMCA Youth Legislature at our state capitol in Olympia May 2-5, 2012.
