September 24, 2009 – Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning is seeking members
for his Youth Advisory Council (AGYAC). This is the annual call for high school
students, who are interested in learning more about our state government.
AGYAC is composed of high school students, who are selected each year to
represent schools and communities from across the state. The opportunity to
participate is available to high school juniors and seniors. AGYAC members learn
about state government and criminal justice issues at a one-day conference in
Lincoln. The daylong event features tours of the Capitol and Penitentiary and
includes discussion forums with some of Nebraska's top elected officials.
AGYAC membership offers an excellent chance for students from District 2 to
learn about our government and criminal justice system, fine-tune their
leadership skills and enjoy the rewards that are derived from civic involvement.
Students who have participated in AGYAC in the past report that it was a
valuable learning experience. This year the invitation is also being extended to
parents of the members, as well as to educators. During the conference, lunch
will be provided for students. However, a small fee will be charged for parents
and educators.
Members of AGYAC can be nominated by educators or their state senator. If you
are a high school junior or senior who attends a public or private school in
District 2, and would like for me to recommend you for membership on the
Attorney General's Youth Advisory Council, please send me your resume and a
brief statement that explains why you would be a good candidate to represent
District 2 on the AGYAC.
Applications for AGYAC membership are due to Attorney General Bruning’s
office by Friday, October 16, 2009. All of the application forms can be mailed
from my legislative office or downloaded from the Attorney General’s web site at
www.ago.state.ne.us.
We welcome your contacts by mail, phone or email.
