N.J. Stat. § 52:13G-1: Legislative findings and declarations

The Legislature finds and declares that the youth of this State should receive an opportunity to better understand and appreciate the legislative process; that such an opportunity would encourage youth to actively participate in the day-to-day affairs of State government; that the establishment of a legislative internship program would enable State legislators to gain an understanding and appreciation of the views of the State's youth toward their State on contemporary issues; and that such a program would further the Legislature's historic role of promoting citizenship training in our high schools.
