Whereas, forty-two 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 and middle school students; and
Whereas, students taking part in the program will run for statewide office, enact legislation, and organize their own government; and
Whereas, the purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association Youth in Government program is to encourage our youth to develop enthusiasm and appreciation for government and community affairs; and
Whereas, almost one thousand five hundred students in the State are expected to participate this year, making the South Carolina Youth in Government program one of the largest per capita in the nation. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, authorize the Greenville Young Men's Christian Association to use the Chamber of the South Carolina Senate and any available committee hearing rooms in the Gressette Building for its Youth in Government program on Monday, November 16 and Thursday, November 19 and Friday, November 20, 2020.
