 Youth & Government
The Model Legislative
and Court program is a statewide youth educational
program
involving more than 2,200 high school sophomores, juniors,
and seniors in a nine month “hands on” experience.
The tool used is a high quality experiential and educational
simulation based upon California's state government.
A key focus of Youth and Government is the building
of friendships among its participants.
Individual delegations
discuss issues facing California. During a nine
month
period, the teen delegates write bills, select governmental
positions to role-play, attend statewide training conferences,
and run for various elected offices. The program reaches
its peak in Sacramento at the State Capitol when the
teen delegates “take over,” using the
historic halls, chambers, and offices of our State
Capitol, Supreme
Court, and Governor's Office.
Meetings begin every
September. For more information please contact Tiffany
Davidson at 842-7163.
