TopicEducation
ContentOklahoma would benefit from increased awareness of the Oklahoma YMCA Youth and Government program. Each year, students from schools all over the state meet at the State Capitol for a model legislature and model court system. These high school students have the opportunity to write their own legislation and sit in the desks of actual State Representatives in the House Chambers and debate these issues. It is empowering for the students to explore ideas for bill topics and to hear them frame good arguments for and against these ideas. Unfortunately, not every school in Oklahoma has a Youth and Government program. I encourage all legislators to spread the word about this program so that we can spread the spirit of the 100 Ideas Initiative to our high school students!
