Youth and Government builds leaders by doing. Lauryn chats about her involvement in the Youth and Government Program offered at the Y and the importance of Civic Engagement and the impact youth can have on public policy.

Teens are taught the principles of a democratic society and are given leadership roles in the models of judicial, legislative and executive branches of local, state and national government.
