Recently, over 40 Bolton Central School Youth & Government students from grades 8 – 12, attended a regional conference at Silver Bay. The conference was made up of students from Bolton, Johnsburg, Newcomb, Minerva and Queensbury, all included in District 3. This regional conference is in preparation for the state conference occurring in March.
YMCA Youth & Government is a national program that involves thousands of teens nationwide in state-organized, model-government programs. Students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in experiential civic engagement and literally practice democracy. The program culminates with teens serving as delegates at their state conference, debating bills on the floor of the Capital Building.
