City on the Hill / ages 14-18 / become mock legislators

This is an excellent program!   See attached documents for more information.  If interested, contact Danielle.  daniellec@capitolresource.org

 

I wanted to take a moment to let you know about a program for high school students offered by Capitol Resource Institute.

 

Now in its 27th year, this outstanding program has helped train young leaders in the legislative and political processes.

During the week-long conference Christian students aged 14-18 from all across California become mock legislators. They carry real legislation being debated that year in the actual legislature. While busy passing their bills through committee hearings, and debating legislation in floor sessions, they must also contend with the political aspect of governing as they run for party leadership.

No where else can young Christians obtain such hands-on training for the political and governing arenas. The apex of the conference is the final day, when students debate their bills on the floor of the California legislature.

In addition to the legislative training, students receive world view training, hearing edifying speakers from many different walks of life. Students are also encouraged in their walk with the Lord as they attend daily worship services and Bible studies.

Every year both students and staff leave City with a passion to return home and change the world for Christ. Perhaps the greatest testament to City's impact is the students who return year after year to continue honing their skills. So empowering is City, many families send all of their children.

Students forge lifelong friendships with other young people who share their values, each student will gain a greater understanding of their government. This knowledge will equip them to be informed and engaged voters, holding their elected officials accountable.

Mark your calendar --> CRI's annual City on the Hill Youth Leadership Conference will take place July 15-20, 2014.
