Attendees to the Youth Legislative Training Conference (YLTC) must be nominated by their state association office to attend. If a student is interested in attending the YLTC, the high school principal will need to contact the state association office.
In addition to the nomination form, each applicant will need to send the following information:

In early April, the state association offices will be notified of which students from their states have been selected to attend the YLTC. By the end of April, we will also contact these students by mail with information about the conference including a registration form to be filled out and returned to the AACS Washington Office. The registration form along with the registration fee must be received in the AACS Washington Office by Monday, May 26, 2025. At that time, no additions or substitutions may be made.
