About Olathe Youth Congress:

Olathe Youth Congress, loosely modeled after the U.S. Congress, was established in 1999 to provide the youth of Olathe (Grades 7-12) an opportunity to set priorities and become involved in seeing some of those priorities become a reality in our community. Student senators are assigned to committees and consider resolutions based on those committees.  Senators are students who self-appoint themselves, undergo training, and lead the General Assembly.

The Olathe Youth Congress General Assembly is held in the fall each year. Nearly 400 students from Olathe Schools participate each year in the General Assembly.

Floor Leaders/Senators Meetings:

While the entire congress only meets once a year, students who want to take an active leadership role work throughout the year to implement the ideas and policies of the Olathe Youth Congress. If you would like to participate in the upcoming Youth Congress Meetings, be sure to visit our Calendars page to learn when the next meeting will be held. 

Olathe Youth Congress Mission Statement:

The Olathe Youth Congress was established to provide youth in Olathe a voice in our community in a meaningful way, provide opportunities to experience the governmental process, as well as serve as an avenue for continued involvement in implementing and achieving the Youth Congress priorities.
