Youth Shape the Future - 2026 Youth Leadership Academy

YLA is an opportunity for high school students (grades 9-12) to learn about the roles of local and regional government, including regional planning, transportation, sustainability, land use, and the interaction with local non-profits and communities. Today’s leaders and decision makers across all sectors are planning and making decisions for the future. Those who are most impacted by those decisions are our youth. Often youth do not have the knowledge on how to inform policymakers, decision-makers, and elected bodies like SACOG, or their local elected officials. YLA is focused on youth empowerment to create pathways for young people to understand local and regional government and learn about career opportunities in public service.

The academy brings together students from Sutter, Yuba, Yolo, El Dorado, Placer, and Sacramento counties. This approach provides a rare opportunity for students to connect with peers from across the six-county region, meet and hear from their local and state elected officials and community leaders.

The deadline for applications is Sunday, March 1 at 11:59 p.m. Students can apply at sacog.org/youth.

AP EXAMS

Pay for your AP Exams NOW!

Students may now register and pay for their AP Exams in Total Registration. Students must create an account with TR if this is their first time using TR. Students who have a TR account must log into their previous accounts. If students need help with logging in, they can use TR's login assistance. Students have until March 6th to register and pay for their AP exams. Students seeking financial assistance can request support by following the prompts in TR as they are registering. After the March 6th deadline, students will incur a late fee of $45 (per AP exam), imposed by the College Board and it is not able to be waived, even with financial assistance.
