Youth Advocacy Training Materials

Below are some Youth Advocacy Training quizzes on the Texas Legislature where once you read the materials and take the quiz you will be rewarded with a nice certificate to print out and frame. We also have some games on the Federal Government and what goes into creating a bill and making it into a law that children and adults will find fun and educational. We are currently working on creating our Texas Legislature game for use online.
So check back often as we develop this board game into an online game!
