Participant Story

STORY -- State YMCA of Maine Youth in Government, ME


STORY -- State YMCA of Maine Youth in Government, ME


"Being in the State House is great; we really get to feel like we are the real legislature.""I wish Youth in Government were longer; then we could really get into all the bills.""We had ownership in all parts of the program: writing the bills, serving in leadership positions, and most of all being able to be at the State House.""This was one of the best experiences of my life -- being able to be in charge of the Senate was really fun.""I use the resources from the program in my Civics and Government classes."
