What is KYG?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Know Your Government (KYG)<\/em> is a civic education program with a four-year rotating topic: The Legislative System, The Judicial System, Elections and Party Platforms, and Politics and the Media. It is important to remember though, that KYG is much more than learning about how the Legislative process works. In fact, one could argue that it is little about that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KYG and 4-H are about learning the life skills our delegates will need to be responsible citizens and productive adults. The conference is an opportunity for delegates to practice the skills they have learned, apply their knowledge to unknown situations and reflect on how they did.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n
