On Wednesday, March 30, 109 teens from the Tampa YMCA's Youth in Government program will visit Tallahassee for the Florida State Assembly, a model legislative program that is hosted in at least 45 states across the country.
The program is student-run, and members write their own bills, elect their own officers, engage in debates and learn the process of a bill becoming a law.
Out of those teens, 34 are from Plant City. The kids will leave March 30, from the North Brandon Family YMCA in Seffner.
