Support

“The Youth and Government program has had a huge impact on my life.  From my first day at Model, I was hooked.  I would do my absolute best with whatever task was given to me to help these delegates experience Model Legislature as great as I did.  I think that the better your experience is, the bigger the impact it is on your life as a whole.” 
Gabriel Stultz, Lt. Governor 2002

Empower

“Before I joined in my sophomore year, I had no interest in politics, no confidence as a public speaker, and I never dreamed that I could lead a group of my peers to the bathroom, let alone the General Assembly.  Now, in my freshman year at college, I am starting a political organization on my campus, spawned by my views concerning US foreign policy, I can speak in front of any size group about anything in which I'm knowledgeable, with few qualms, and I am proud of my accomplishment of having successfully led [the youth House of Representatives] through three intense days of debate on Pennsylvania's public issues.”  
Youseff Alex Mahmoud, Speaker of the House 2002

Engage

“Youth and Government is a club like no other; it provides young people with a forum to voice their opinions on topics of current interest.  We have the unique opportunity to see how our government works and to take an active role in our society.  Through this club I have been honored to talk, debate, and have fun with the best teenagers that Pennsylvania has to offer.”  Jasmine Jenkins, Youth Governor 2002


I wish to Support, Empower, and Engage
