Learn. Lead. Make your voice heard.

Youth & Government gives high school students a hands-on opportunity to learn how government works while building confidence and leadership skills.

Teens discuss and debate issues, propose legislation, explore different perspectives, and strengthen communication and problem-solving skills. The experience culminates at a youth-led state conference in Raleigh, where participants put what they've learned into action.
