Youth Legislature has students work all year to learn parliamentary procedure and write their own legislation. During this program teens will develop confidence, hone skills in writing, research and public speaking, and better understand their power as citizens in a democratic society.
In May, students from across the state come together to form a mock legislature of the Washington State Legislature. Students will fill leadership roles across a variety of program areas including: Senate, House, Lobbyists, Press, and Pages. Students will debate with other students from across the state, exposing the students to a variety of viewpoints while discussing solutions to problems facing their own communities.
Below is a list of all current Youth Legislature Delegations. If you are interested in joining, starting a new delegation, or do not see a program in your area listed, please contact Erin FitzGerald at efitzgerald@seattleymca.org or call 360-357-3475.
Student legislation is submitted via the REGY site. Use the templates below to prepare your bill prior to entering it in REGY.
