Youth in Government

Youth in Government is a program that engages young people in the democratic process by providing hands-on experience in government operations. Participants typically assume roles such as legislators, judges, or executive officials, learning about civic responsibility, decision-making, and leadership. Through simulations, debates, and workshops, youth gain a deeper understanding of governmental functions, while developing skills like critical thinking, communication, and teamwork. The goal is to inspire informed, active citizens who understand and appreciate the workings of their government and their role within a democratic society.
