Each representative in GYC serves two-year terms upon election by their peers. The legislative body is made up of representatives from Guam’s high schools and villages and can make its own rules, establish committees, and pass resolutions and bills that are then transmitted to the Guam Legislature.

“As one of UOG’s three GYC representatives, I have the great opportunity to work with our other representatives — Al Labang and Prairie Garrido — and to be the voice of us Tritons and bring positive change to our university and all of Guåhan,” Flores said.

During his term, Flores plans to work toward making changes in four main areas: revitalizing Guam’s culture and language, furthering the island’s decolonization efforts, promoting environmental sustainability, and empowering the youth and community.

“I’ve gained invaluable experience from the Public Policy Institute of I Liheslaturan Guåhan. In this program, I interned under Speaker Tina Muña-Barnes and Sen. Wil Castro, and I learned and refined my knowledge and skills in this area by directly participating in the legislative process, researching and writing bills, assisting constituents, providing executive-level staffing, and organizing civic activities,” Flores said.

Flores was also recently appointed by Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero and confirmed by the Guam Legislature to serve as a member of the Guam Public Library System Board of Directors.
