Winston Lake YMCA Youth Attend Legislature * Youth from the Winston Lake 1 Family YMCA's "Youth N Govern ment Program" participated in the first "YMCAs of North Carolina Youth Legislature March 3-6. Michael A. Mclntyre, youth program director at the Winston Lake Y. along with students Samuel Walker and Eli Beaty, represented the Y in the legislature held at the state capital. For four days, youth from throughout the state gathered to cam on the task of writing bills, discussing those bills in committee, defending those bills on the floor of the Senate and the House, and deciding which bills would become law. "This was a fantastic experi ence for the youth," Mclntyre said. "It gave them a first-hand look at how our state government really works. It more importantly gave them a very positive forum to express their concerns and issues while giving them practical training on how to articulate those issues and concerns both in written form as well as verbally." "This was an experience that we enjoyed tremendously," said both Walker and Beaty. "It was both fun and quite a learning experience, and we both would highly recom mend it to all students." Walker said the most enjoyable part of the legislature was the debat ing." . "I really enjoyed the exchang ing of viewpoints. TTiis gave me the opportunity to go up against some very bright students." he said. For Beaty, it was getting to learn about the concerns of other students from around the state that was most enjoyable. "The legislature gave me the opportunity to meet and talk with my peers from around the state of North Carolina, and although we come from different geographical locations, most youth share the same concerns." Walker, a lOth-grader at Glenn High School, and Beaty, a 9th grader at North Forsyth High School, both plan to be a part of the program until graduation. The YMCAs of North Carolina plan make the legislature an annual event held in March.
