The Arizona Youth & Government Program has provided outstanding experiential learning for over 70 years to youth from across the state. Youth & Government helps young people define the community action they wish to take, and teaches youth the legislative and judicial processes to facilitate social change. This semester-long program is hosted through weekly delegation meetings and state-wide virtual meetings. YAG leads students through topics such as parliamentary procedure, political parties, media, voting, bill writing and debate policy. The semester concludes with the Model Legislature & Court Conference held each year during the first weekend in December at the Arizona State Capitol. This is a 3-day, 2-night conference in downtown Phoenix. During this capstone experience delegates will debate their bills in the State House and Senate, run for office, write a daily newspaper and host State Supreme Court hearings. To register, you will be asked to select your delegation in the enrollment process. If there are questions about your delegation please contact:  [email protected] [email protected]
