The Unicameral Youth Conference was established in 2001, by members of the Nebraska Legislature Clerk's office. It was created to enable high school students to learn about the legislative process and how a bill becomes law. The 2007 session began on June 11 with the election of committee chairpersons and the Speaker of the Legislature.
During the 2007 session of the Unicameral Youth Conference in Lincoln at the State Capitol, twenty students participated in learning the works and laws of the Unicameral. The Unicameral Legislature of Nebraska is non-partisan and acted in the same way during the Unicameral Youth Conference.

Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or conference:
“Sprung from the West,
He drank the valorous youth of a new world.
The strength of virgin forests braced his mind,
The hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul.
His words were oaks in acorns; and his thoughts
Were roots that firmly gript the granite truth.”
—Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
