Youth & Government
Donation protected
We're raising funds for 12 students of Kolbe Cathedral High School to attend the YMCA Youth & Government State Conference. We are hoping to raise $3,600 (each student costs $300). These students have worked hard to create bills they would like to see become laws, drafted persuasive opening statements, and learned the ins and outs of parliamentary procedure. Now, they would like the opportunity to represent Kolbe and Bridgeport at the annual State Conference!
The Connecticut YMCA Youth & Government Program is designed to introduce youths in grades 9-12 to the organization and function of the Connecticut General Assembly via participation in a mock legislative session. Delegates may participate as elected officials, representatives or senators, press corps members, or lobbyists.
The program runs from November through March culminating in the annual State Conference held at the Connecticut State Capitol building. The program is privileged to have access to the committee meeting rooms and the House and Senate chambers for an entire weekend.
