Club Overview:
The YMCA Youth & Government program aims to inspire and prepare young leaders to be active participants in their communities and the democratic process. The mission of this program is two-fold:

1. To foster leadership through service, fellowship, responsibility, and respect.
2. To educate and engage students in the workings of government at local, national, and international levels.

This program gives students the chance to experience the democratic process firsthand and to develop leadership skills. Participants are involved in Youth Legislature and Model United Nations, where they will take on real-world roles in government and diplomacy.

Club Activities:

1. Youth Legislature Conference: Students will simulate the process of government, assuming roles in the three branches of government, drafting and debating legislation, and engaging in leadership development.
2. Model United Nations Conference: Participants will represent a country and engage in global discussions, learning about international relations, debate, and resolution writing.
3. District Conferences and Preparation: Students will prepare for their conferences by authoring bills and engaging in training sessions to learn about the legislative process and parliamentary procedures.

Goals for the Year:

• Get a member elected to the state board.
• Aim for half of the submitted bills to pass.
• Increase membership, particularly after losses due to graduating members.

Student Impact:
By participating in Youth & Government, students will gain skills in debate, civil discourse, leadership, and compromise. They’ll learn about government processes, from local to national levels, and gain a deeper understanding of world and national issues. Model United Nations provides a challenging three-day program where students represent countries and engage in negotiations. The Louisiana YMCA Youth Legislature offers a unique opportunity for students to simulate legislative procedures, understand the democratic process, and gain leadership skills.

This program opens doors to national opportunities, such as:

• YMCA Youth Conference on National Affairs (CONA): A platform for students to research and debate national and international issues.
• National Judicial Competition (NJC): An opportunity to delve into judicial matters and engage with peers from around the country.

Student Benefits:
