MISSION STATEMENT

The Youth-In-Government Club is organized to provide opportunities in participatory politics for high school students in grades 10-12. Students will have opportunities to participate in "simulated" elections (ie. National Parent-Student Mock Election) and Congressional activities sponsored by the YMCA.

2006-2007 CLUB OFFICERS

The club is now in the process of recruiting members.

 

CLUB EVENTS

The culminating activity is the participation in the Virginia YMCA 2007 Model General Assembly that will convene in Richmond, Virginia in the spring of this school year. This General Assembly program is designed to introduce secondary school students to Virginia's legislative process.

ABOUT THE CLUB

Each spring hundreds of young Virginians converge upon the state Capitol to experience firsthand the conditions and procedures under which elected officials work. Students assume roles as Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney and House Speaker, Pages, Senators, Representatives, and Lobbyists, etc. Since 1984, more than 30,000 students have participated in the program.
