Youth & Government

YMCA Youth & Government

The Youth & Government program is a High School “hands-on” experience in State Government. Youth & Government is an educational program that increases awareness of the governmental process and develops skills in the areas of personal development, self-esteem and leadership. There are opportunities for news reporting, writing, debating and lobbying for or against bills. The highlight of the program is a weekend-long trip to Raleigh, where the students present and debate Bills in the State Legislative Building. The 2009 YMCA NC Youth Legislature Assembly will be held February 12-15, 2009.
