Oxnard Junior to Attend Leaders Conference
Joan Kim of Oxnard, a junior at Adolfo Camarillo High School, has been selected to attend the National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C.
During the conference, to be held Nov. 5-10, 350 National Scholars from across the country will interact with key leaders and newsmakers from the three branches of government, media and the diplomatic corps. Scholars will visit foreign embassies and receive policy briefings from senior government officials.
In one activity, titled “Model Congress,” scholars will assume the roles of U.S. representatives and debate, amend and vote on proposed legislation for an official language and immigration reform.
The National Young Leaders Conference is sponsored by the Congressional Youth Leadership Council, a nonprofit, nonpartisan educational organization. Students are referred to the program by their school and are selected for the conference based on academic achievement and community involvement.
