Young Legislators Program



On Thursday, State Assemblymember Susan Eggman will be at MHHS to speak about the Young Legislators Program. The program accepts juniors and seniors who are interested in getting involved in their communities and gaining experience in the law making process. 

The Young Legislators Program consists of
  1. Three Saturday Seminars on government and community issues with elected officials, community figures and other leaders from the 13th Assembly District
  2. A “Living Policy” project so each participant can dive deeply into an issue facing their community today
  3. A day trip to the State Capitol in Sacramento, where students learn how ideas become bills and laws, observe a full session of the State Assembly, sit in on committee hearings, meet with legislators and make presentations to policymakers from across our state
This would be a great opportunity to get involved and participate in something that could add to resumes and college applications. The program is very eager to recruit students from MHHS and applications will be available during the assembly. 
The deadline to apply is November 15th. 
Juniors or seniors who are interested should report to the small gym promptly at the beginning of SUCCESS! on Thursday to get more information directly from the Assemblymember.
