Youth & Government Grades 9-12

Registration begins September 1, 2011

Want your child to learn important skills such as public speaking, organization, problem solving and time management? MLC is a statewide youth education program involving more than 2,600 high school students in a 9-month, hands-on experience.

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 over President’s Day weekend. There, real government steps aside and the teen delegates take over, using the historic halls, chambers and offices of our State Capitol, Supreme Court and Governor’s Office.
