BLUFFTON HIGH YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT

Posted by Sandy Graves

Eric Wooster and Emma Maines spoke to Rotary looking for support, advise and ideas to promote Youth in Government. Bluffton High's Youth in Government club which is run by the YMCA, allows students a first hand look at government. Every November they travel to the Columbia States House for a three-day conference to pose as mock legislators, experiencing the law making process by arguing bills of their own making and research. The total cost per student is $415. The Bluffton High School Youth in Government class has 32 members and they are asking for any fundraising ideas, community support and/or connections, or perhaps even a sponsorship of a few students. The cost per each student is $60. Any support you can give please contact Mrs. Erin Reichert at erin.clemmons@beaufort.k12.sc.us
