Civic Health Champion

Our Youth and Government Program is in need of passionate, talented Advisors for the model legislative program. The role of the Advisor is equal parts mentor, teacher, and confidant. Advisors play a critical role in the Colorado Youth & Government Program. The key roles of an Advisor include attending regular delegation meetings, mentoring delegates as they prepare for the conference, and supervising at all conferences. Our Advisors develop close bonds with many of our delegates and see just how much Y&G impacts them firsthand. Youth and Government is first a youth development program that offers young people the opportunity to experience personal development in a positive and safe environment. Secondly the program aims to help youth understand the importance of civic engagement and civil discourse, and to understand first-hand how our democracy works in practice.
