## About this program

The Nevada Youth Legislature, created by the Nevada Legislature in 2007, is a two-year program that teaches high school students about representative government and gives them an active role in the legislative process. Each of Nevada's 21 state senators appoints one Youth Legislator to represent his or her senatorial district.

Students who live in, and attend a public, private, virtual or home school in, the senatorial district of the senator who appoints them, and who will be in grades 9-12 during their two-year term. Students may apply in 8th grade but ordinarily not in their senior year. No minimum GPA is required.

Fields above come directly from the catalog listing. A field with no stored value is omitted.
