Youth Legislative Training Conference
Each summer, AACS hosts rising high school juniors and seniors in Washington, D.C. for the Youth Legislative Training Conference (YLTC). This unique program will challenge students to view the U.S. legislative process from a biblical perspective. Students benefit from several activities including a Congressional briefing, professional workshops, and a mock Senate simulation in which they will debate real world issues. Students will also tour several historical sites in the Washington, D.C. area, as well as visit their Senators and Representatives. Participation in the Youth Legislative Conference is one of the most rewarding opportunities a politically-minded high school student can experience.
If you have any questions regarding the YLTC, please contact the AACS Government Affairs Director Jamison Coppola (jcoppola@aacs.org). Congratulations to Katelin Bergum and Michael Price from Maranatha Baptist Academy on being selected to attend the YLTC this summer from June 26 - July 15, 2023!
