NATIONAL PROGRAMS

Students who participate in the Youth Legislature or Mock Trial program are eligible to apply for one of our national Youth & Government events and competitions. Students from around the US and beyond come together to learn, teach, lead and grow as individuals. Students build lasting friendships and gain a deeper understanding of the differences that make us all unique.
