YOUTH & GOVERNMENT

Teens in grades 7-12 will have the opportunity to enrich their understanding of civics by actively participating in a simulated legislative process leading to the enactment of laws. Delegates will participate as senators, assembly people, justices, lawyers, media members, and other political figures.

Throughout the program, delegates are mentored by a dedicated volunteer staff of NJ YAG alumni who currently study and work in a variety of fields.

Youth & Government meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30pm-5:30pm with office hours by appointment on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00pm-5:00pm.
