Info Session and District Meetings
We will be hosting two opportunities for delegates to learn about and prepare for Youth Legislature before the conference. 

Youth Legislature Info Session: Virtual — October 16, 6 p.m.
This session is optional and is intended to help new delegates learn about what to expect at conference and how to best prepare, as well as sharing changes to this year's conference. The State Board will review debate procedures, bill writing, deadlines and more.

Youth Legislature District Meetings: In-person** — Dates vary by location
We are bringing the district meetings back in-person! This meeting is mandatory for all delegates planning to attend conference. During these meetings, we briefly review information covered at the info session, as well as practicing debate and holding district elections. These elections select the district representatives to run for the offices of Governor, President of the Senate and Speaker of the House. We will also select the delegates that will represent your district in the Supreme Court. Each district elects two Supreme Court Justices.
