The Black Youth Leadership Project, Inc. is hosting a one-day Open House geared
toward African-American high school students interested in California politics,
public policy, civics, governmental service, and/or community service. Students
will participate with Capitol staff in mock committee hearings and a legislative
floor session, passing laws that are important to them. The purpose of the Open
House is to encourage African-American students in grades 9-12 to regularly
interact with their state's political and community leaders and to use this
opportunity to discuss the legislative process, timely policy concerns, and the role
of democracy and advocacy within our communities.
