This experience is an opportunity for young people to learn how to navigate, manage and create large organizations by taking charge of their own youth government and proposing future community policies and projects. Since the first project in Austin, Texas, in 1982, students from over 25 states and four Latin American nations have convened at one of six host sites to play this leadership game of vision, influence and construction of communities of the future. Each host site serves between 150 and 200 students from throughout the United States and parts of Latin America.
