EJS Project YLP Road Trip Recap Video

To conclude our 2024 Young Legislators Program, we provided our qualifying 22 outstanding students with an all-expenses-paid trip to Alabama, where they explored the historic cities of Montgomery and Selma. The trip culminated in a fun-filled experience in Orlando, in collaboration with our partners at Achievement Centers for Children & Families. This journey offered our students not only the chance to immerse themselves in the rich history of these cities but also to enjoy themselves and forge new friendships.
