THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Californer -- Signups for the Southeast Ventura County YMCA's three Youth & Government Model Legislature & Court delegation programs are being accepted through September 16. The programs run from September through February and are open to all high school students.
For over 75 years, California YMCA Youth & Government has provided high school youth with a learning program modeling California's legislature and courts. The program offers teen participants the opportunity to learn how government works, collaborate with others, make new friends and build skills such as critical thinking, persuasive public speaking, writing and research.
"These are skills that can be helpful throughout their school years and career," says Tori Cusack, Senior Program Director, Member Engagement at the Yarrow Family YMCA. "The programs also encourage a new generation to become invested in the governmental process."
