For the 12th consecutive year, the League of Women Voters of Scarsdale will select one high school student to attend the annual Students Inside Albany Conference to take place from May 21n to May 24, 2023 in Albany, New York. Any Sophomore, Junior, or Senior student who attends Scarsdale High School or resides in the school district is eligible to apply.
This four day, in-person, and interactive event will bring together high school students from across the state to learn about New York State government and will immerse them in the process by which public policy is proposed, revised, and enacted in New York.
As in past years, the agenda will be packed with tools to instruct students on how to influence public policy decision-making at the state level. A highlight of the conference is the opportunity for students to meet with legislators to discuss issues and advocacy.
Past Scarsdale student participants were unanimous in their enthusiasm about the program.
The cost of the conference, including hotel and meals, is co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters New York State Education Foundation, Inc. and the Scarsdale League.
