The competitive program brings together Hispanic students from seven regional delegations across New York State for six months of leadership development and civic engagement training. Participants study state government, the legislative process, parliamentary procedure, public speaking, and debate while preparing to discuss selected Assembly bills.
Students who excel during the regional sessions will be invited to join the Long Island delegation at the statewide PRHYLI assembly in Albany, scheduled for April 18–20.
