YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT
What is Youth in Government?
Youth in Government (YIG) is a program run through the YMCA that empowers students to become involved in government. YIG allows students to write and debate bills, sit in the House and Senate seats at the Capital Building, and pass bills that will actually go to Jennifer Granholm's desk! Anyone interested in leadership, debate, and/or state legislature should join.
What are my obligations?
There is a fall conference one Saturday in October and a couple of meetings during the school year. There is a big spring conference in Lansing for 4 nights! The cost to attend this conference is usually +/- $375.
When can I start?
There is an informational meeting in September, which includes sign ups.
