Whereas, forty-five states have successful Youth in Government programs; and
Whereas, the Youth in Government program is designed to provide first-hand experience in the state legislature and government affairs for high school students; and
Whereas, students taking part in the program will run for statewide office, pass legislation, and organize their own government; and
Whereas, the purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association's Youth in Government program is to encourage our youth to develop enthusiasm and appreciation for government and community affairs; and
Whereas, more than one thousand, two hundred high school students in the State are expected to participate this year, making the South Carolina Youth in Government program the largest per-capita in the nation. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
