Youth & Government:

Youth and Government is an exciting experience in the mechanics of the State Legislative and Judicial process of government.  It provides opportunities for junior high and high school youth to study and debate public issues, experience the Judicial branch of our state government, write legislation and participate in a Youth Legislature, or experience creating a news broadcast or newspaper.  Students across the state of Texas participate in their local District Conference and culminate the experience in a four-day State Conference in Austin, Texas.
