Registration is now open for The Town of Southampton Youth Bureau’s “Youth and Government” program. Youth & Government is sponsored by the Alliance of NYS YMCAs and is a national program that involves teens in state-organized, model-government programs. Students in grades 9 - 12 will have the opportunity to practice experiential civic engagement and learn about the democratic process. Youth will discuss and debate issues that affect citizens of New York State and will get a chance to deliberate in the chambers of the NYS Legislature at a state conference in Albany.
The Southampton Youth Bureau’s Youth & Government program begins Wednesday, October 4th. Meetings will be held the first and third Wednesday of the month from 6:30pm – 8:00pm at the Hampton Bays Community Center, 25 Ponquogue Avenue. For more information or to register, please call (631) 702-2425 or visit www.southamptontownny.gov/youthbureau.
