Thank you @emmagreenman and @MaryKunesh9 for championing our bill! Our students are passionate about getting it across the finish line to expand access and recruit more teachers to help support our programs. #mnleg

.@ymcayouthvoice Youth in Government students wrote personal notes to their legislators tonight in support of the $150,000 civic education grant included in the ed finance omnibus bill. This funding will have a huge impact on access to YIG. So proud of our students! #mnleg

It was so fun to see @ymcayouthvoice Youth in Government in action at the Capitol today and see students and families from my district! The students are working hard, having fun and learning the mechanics of making gov’t work!

The most wonderful time of the year in MN! Congrats @ymcayouthvoice and all the student delegates 🇺🇸 #democracy

Hey #mnleg friends: thank you for letting us use the Capitol this past weekend for the 69th MN Youth in Government session! We are lucky to have one of the most supportive legislatures in the country (out of 40 state programs) when it comes to space usage. @ymcayouthvoice
