Pennsylvania Game Commission officials announced that the Friends of the National Rifle Association application deadline for its upcoming Pennsylvania Youth Education Summit (YES) in Harrisburg is fast approaching. Pennsylvania high school sophomores and juniors have until March 2, to sign up for the event, which is set for April 2-6.

Pennsylvania YES provides youth attendees with an opportunity to gain a hands-on education of the history of Pennsylvania and the democratic process. The program is designed help youth develop: an awareness and desire to participate in Pennsylvania government; an appreciation and knowledge of the history and unique heritage of Pennsylvania; an understanding of volunteer networks and how young citizens can serve their communities; and an understanding of the history, mission and programs of the NRA.

Friends of the NRA banquet proceeds cover nearly all costs for those youth attending Pennsylvania YES. For more information, contact Kory Enck, NRA East Pennsylvania Field Representative, at 717-689-3200 or kenck@nrahq.org.
