Youth & Government (Grades 6-8)
Join us for Youth & Government, a dynamic leadership and civic engagement program for middle school students who want to make a difference. Through hands-on experiences, students explore how government works while building confidence, communication skills, and leadership abilities.
Participants will:
- Learn how laws are created and experience the legislative process firsthand
- Develop public speaking, teamwork, and critical thinking skills
- Visit the Connecticut State Capitol and engage in real-world civic learning
- Get a FREE YMCA Youth Membership while active in program
This program empowers students to find their voice and become active, informed leaders in their community.
