Attention juniors and seniors.  The annual United States Senate Youth Program authorizes the selection of 104 student delegates in the U.S. The delegates are immersed in Washington activities throughout their week-long stay, including visits to the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court and the Pentagon. Delegates hear major addresses by senators, cabinet members and officials of the Department of State and the Department of Defense, as well as other federal departments.
