On November 18, 2010 Michigan's Children presented Youth Legislative Day. More than 140 youths from Ingham, Kalamazoo, Macomb, Oakland, Ottawa, and Wayne Counties converged on the Michigan House of Representatives to receive legislative training and participate in mock debates with legislators, staff and lobbyists. The fall event focused on the issues of gang violence, school nutrition, and mental health services in schools. Michigan's Children proudly presented this fall's Youth Legislative Day in partnership with the Skillman Foundation, the Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan, New Detroit, the Detroit Parent Network and Western Michigan University's College of Health and Human Services (CHHS). We thank them, the youths, the legislators, staff and everyone else who helped make this special day possible. View the list of schools and agencies that brought students to the event |
