State Senator Sue Rezin recently hosted high school students from the 38th Senate District at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield as part of her Youth Advisory Council (YAC) program. The program aims to educate local high school students about the state’s legislative process.

"Sen. Rezin’s YAC program allows local high school students to learn more about government through two meetings held each school year," stated a source.

The fall meeting of the YAC program involved students hearing from local leaders and engaging in discussions on issues important to them. "During the fall meeting, students heard from local leaders and had the opportunity to discuss issues important to them," added another source.

In the spring meeting, students were given a firsthand experience of the legislative process by attending two different Illinois Senate committee hearings. They also had the opportunity to visit the Senate floor and interact with state leaders.

The YAC program organized by Sen. Rezin provides a valuable platform for high school students to engage with government processes and understand the role of lawmakers in serving their communities.
