Registration is open for the Town of Southampton Youth Bureau’s “Youth and Government” program. Youth and Government is a national program that involves teens in state-organized, model-government programs. Students in grades nine through 12 will have the opportunity to practice 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 New York State Legislature at a state conference in Albany. The program begins Wednesday, October 4, with subsequent meetings on the first and third Wednesday of the month from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Hampton Bays Community Center, 25 Ponquogue Avenue.
