The Connecticut YMCA Youth & Government program gives students the opportunity to step into the roles of legislators and leaders, debate real issues, write bills, and experience the democratic process firsthand.
This hands-on civic learning program allows you to explore how government works — not as a spectator, but as an active citizen. Students elect their own leaders, research and debate their own ideas, and support policies that reflect their values and vision for their communities.
The program culminates in a state-level conference where students gather in Hartford, CT to debate their bills on the floor of the legislature at the Connecticut State Capitol.

Leaders Club (Grades 6-12)
Begins Friday, September 25! Meetings are on Fridays, 4:30PM - 5:30PM.
- Leaders: Grades 6–8
- Sr. Leaders: Grades 9–12
Leaders Club is a nationwide YMCA program that gives teens the opportunity to become leaders and changemakers in their communities through service, mentorship, and personal development.
Participants meet weekly and follow a curriculum that focuses on seven key areas of growth: academic behaviors, belonging, growth mindset, interpersonal skills, problem solving, self-advocacy, and self-efficacy. Working in small groups, students design and lead projects that provide meaningful service to their local communities — gaining hands-on leadership experience along the way.
Each group is student-led and advisor-supported, allowing participants to grow as leaders throughout their middle school and high school years, while mentoring younger participants. Leaders Club welcomes all students who express interest. There are no academic requirements to join — instead, the program uses a strength-based approach that helps every participant build on their unique skills and abilities.
