Youth Legislature Home Page

The Tennessee YMCA Youth Legislature is an annual conference designed to offer high school and middle school students a hands-on experience with state government. Each year, some 1600 students from across the state converge on the State Capitol, taking the places of our real government officials. Program participants can serve as senators or representatives, as justices and lawyers, as department commissioners and lobbyists, or even as press corps members.

The Download Forms page should provide you access to anything you might need to help you prepare for the upcoming conference such as registration forms, election forms, and bill writing hints just to name a few.
