Youth and Government is Back!
Students won’t just read about government; they will be the
government! In this model government program, students in grades
6-12 will go through government simulations. They get to elect their
own peer leaders, debate their own bills, and build a vision for a better
tomorrow.
Middle school students become part of the legislature and work
on public speaking and debate, parliamentary procedures, writing,
evaluating, and ranking bills. High school students can join the
legislature, the Judicial Program, Legislative Oversight, or Media Corps.
Youth & Government builds young leaders through hands-on experience
and teaching the YMCA’s core values of Honesty, Caring, Respect, and
Responsibility.
Join us as we build tomorrow’s leaders one young person at a time!
Date: August - February • Ages: Middle School - High School
