Rising 11th, 12th graders can apply for Summer Youth Policy Institute

Mississippi Votes will host its second annual Summer Youth Policy Institute June 1-7. The institute is a free, residential camp at Millsaps College open to rising 11th and 12th graders from across the state.

The institute will provide students with hands-on experiences in policymaking, including mock legislative sessions, museum tours in the Jackson metro area and the Mississippi Delta, and panel discussions with experts and legislators. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of government, history, and civic engagement.

Teachers and leaders are encouraged to share the application with eligible students. Access the application at 2025 Summer Youth Policy Institute Application.
