Legislative Youth Advisory Council

Mr. Li — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 19:08:49 +0000

The Washington State Legislative Youth Advisory Council (LYAC) is a 22-member council of 14-18 year-old students from across the state of Washington. Applications are reviewed by the Council and the final selection is conducted by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. Students serve on the Council for two years. Half of the Council (eleven students) is replaced every year.
Meetings are held three to six times per year, usually every other month. The meetings typically take place in Olympia or the greater Seattle area, but the Council plans to expand meetings to other areas in the future. Students are expected to attend all Council meetings and activities. Depending on the availability of funds, the Council will make every effort to reimburse youth for their travel expenses. Occasionally meetings are planned during the school week, especially during session; so many students are asked to take a day off from school. Meetings are usually one day events, but there are occasional overnight meetings.
Outside of the scheduled meetings, Council members are asked to continue the Council’s work by contacting legislators to advise on pending legislation, drafting letters and legislative reports, reaching out to other youth and community organizations, and participating in Council conference calls.

Washington Business Week

Mr. Li — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:13:19 +0000

Every year Washington Business Week holds week-long summer camps on college campuses around Washington state. These are great opportunities to keep yourself active during the summer while also seeing new college campuses.

Last year we sent about 25 students to three different Business Weeks. Each college offers its camp at a different time and has different camps — business, health care, construction, and manufacturing.

HERO has a partnership with Washington Business Week and, as a result, our students are offered generous amounts of financial aid. If you apply, please indicate on your application that you are a HERO student and that you are requesting financial aid.

Any student currently in high school (sorry middle school students) is eligible. I definitely recommend that you do this!

HSPE testing this week

Mr. Li — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:11:02 +0000

This is the new WASL, or WASL 2.0 as I like to call it. It’s a graduation requirement so it would be a really bad idea to miss school this week. Good luck to all sophomores!
