AACS Youth Legislative Training Conference (YLTC) - July 8-12, 2019

Each summer, AACS hosts rising high school juniors and seniors in Washington, D.C. for the Youth Legislative Training Conference (YLTC). This unique program will challenge 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 will debate real world issues.

Students will also 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 specific information about the program, contact AACS Legislative Director Jamison Coppola (jcoppola@aacs.org).

YLTC 2019 Application Information

INDIANA APPLICATION PROCESS

1.   School Administrator or history/government teacher should identify a student with an interest government, or make an announcement and give student an opportunity to express an interest.
2.  Complete the State Nomination Form for one or two students from your school.
3.  Nominated students should write the essay and get a letter of recommendation from the Administrator or teacher.
4.  Submit the Nomination Form, Essay, and Letter to the State Office (Anderson) no later than March 1, 2019. 
**NOTE: 
The AACS Information sheet gives a state submission date of March 25, but that will be spring break for many schools.  Indiana is setting a date of March 1 so all information can be processed to the AACS by their April 1 deadline.
5.  All Nomination materials should be submitted by email to nicole.sherwin@gracetoanderson.com by the March 1 deadline.

Indiana is allotted 2 delegates to YLTC.  If we have more than 2 students desiring to participate, the State Office can petition for another delegate.  This decision rests with the AACS Legislative office and whether some state have not used their allotment.

After materials are submitted to the AACS, delegates will be contacted directly by the AACS Legislative office with additional information and clearance requirements prior to the conference in July.  Students are responsible for their own transportation to Washington, DC.  Once there, all local transportation, housing and meals are provided.
