America's Legislators Back to School Program

 BTSP Brochure

 Partner Organizations

These premier education associations support the America's Legislators Back to School Program, an NCSL Trust for Representative Democracy program designed to teach young people--the nation's future voters and leaders--what it's like to serve as an elected official: the processes, the pressures, and the debate, negotiation and compromise that are the very fabric of representative democracy.
