Appointment Information
The Nevada Youth Legislature (NYL) is a two-year program
that gives high school students an opportunity to learn about representative
government and take an active role in the legislative process. This includes
presenting one bill per term to the Nevada Legislature on an issue important to
Nevada youth.
During odd numbered years, each of Nevada's 21 senators appoints a youth legislator to represent his or her senatorial district. Each member of the Senate shall, taking into consideration any recommendations made by a member of the Assembly, appoint a person who submits an application and meets the following qualifications:
- Is a resident or goes to school in the senatorial district of the senator who appoints him or her; and
- Is enrolled in a public school or private school in Nevada in grade 9, 10, or 11 for the first school year of the term for which he or she is appointed; or is a homeschooled child who is otherwise eligible to enroll in a public school in Nevada in grade 9, 10, or 11 for the first school year of the term for which he or she is appointed.
Any interested students are encouraged to submit an application.
More details regarding the youth legislator selection process, activities and duties, meetings, and attendance can be found in the NYL application.
