Description

· Youth learn the ability to interpret the constitution and draft basic laws.
· Youth improve their ability to debate, reason, and compromise.
· Successful participants are given the opportunity take the program to other communities.
· Youth have a better understanding of the American constitution and the U.S. federal and state framework.
· Youth have a better understanding of the role of the legislative and judicial system, have better access to local and national government officials, and are advocates of PNG’s constitutional framework.
· The most active participants are given the opportunity to take part in broader youth legislative programs (such as national youth parliament programs in Port Moresby or model UN programs in the United States).

· Participants create a written or recorded playbook of legislative best practices for future parliamentarians.
