NOW ACTIVE:
Thank you for your interest in YMCA Youth & Government! To put it simply, YMCA Youth and Government Programs offer Junior High and High School students the opportunity to learn about State, National, and Global governments through hands-on, participatory experiences. Through participation in model government sessions, students take over the roles of our government officials and learn first hand the policies and procedures used to govern our world! YMCA Youth & Government programs strive to teach the importance of civic engagement and responsible citizenship to the youth of today so that they will develop into the responsible leaders of tomorrow. In YMCA Youth & Government we believe that “Democracy Must Be Learned By Each Generation”. The YMCA Youth & Government Program is an excellent opportunity for any Mississippi student that is interested in governmental affairs. The YMCA Youth & Government Start-Up Manual will walk you though the process of getting your student involved in the YMCA Youth & Government experience! If you have any questions, please contact Christopher Lay at 727-612-6984 or email director@msyag.org.
