SYTA Youth Foundation

"I will always remember my class trip to Washington D.C. The Lincoln Memorial was my favorite. Seeing Gettysburg and Mt. Vernon and going to the museums really helped me understand our lessons on government and history. I had a great time with my friends too! I loved going to D.C. and can't wait for another class trip!"
