Each summer, AACS hosts rising high school juniors and seniors in Washington, D.C. for the Youth Legislative Training Conference (YLTC). This unique program challenges students to view the U.S. legislative process from a biblical perspective. Students benefit from several activities including a Congressional briefing, professional workshops, and a mock Senate simulation in which they debate real-world issues.
Each year, students tour several historical sites in the Washington, D.C. area, as well as visit their Senators and Representatives. Participation in the Youth Legislative Conference is one of the most rewarding opportunities a politically minded high school student can experience.
For more information about the program and the application process, contact AACS Government Relations Assistant Olivia Summers (osummers@aacs.org).
