<p>aka Congressional Youth Leadership Council. Received a letter for sons selection but before I toss it, does anyone know anything about this program?</p>
<p>Google it - you’ll get lots of hits and lots of opinions.</p>
<p>Can be a valuable experience - but is pretty pricey. Not as selective as they might want you to believe.</p>
<p>Here’s a link to a NY times article from a few years back:</p>
<p><a href=“Congratulations! You Are Nominated. It’s an Honor. (It’s a Sales Pitch.) - The New York Times”>Congratulations! You Are Nominated. It’s an Honor. (It’s a Sales Pitch.) - The New York Times;
<p>I will say I know of two local kids who attended in middle school, and both had a great experience. You would have to do your own cost/benefit analysis of the opportunity.</p>
<p>Thanks, I think he has enough on his plate.</p>
