YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT:

NOTE:

North District Organization Meeting  (Pre-Leg)
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at the Hobart YMCA
9:00 am to 3:00 pm

The YMCA Youth and Government program encourages lifelong responsible citizenship through the study of public issues, debate of public policy, writing of legislation, and an experience in the State Government Process. Youth and Government also provides the opportunity for self-fulfillment and lasting friendships, and dramatizes to the community the active leadership potential of our high school youth.

The objectives of the Indiana YMCA Youth and Government program have been designed to promote--

  • Awareness of state issues.
  • Interaction among high school students from varying backgrounds around common concerns.
  • Understanding of government process through active participation in model state government.
  • Communication of youth concerns to state government leaders.
  • Participation in national and international YMCA Youth and Government problems.

If you are interested in government and are in the ninth through 12th grade and would like to participate in this program contact the Hobart Family YMCA at 942-2183.
