Welcome to the 2017-2018 YMCA Texas Youth and Government program!  Please support our mission and this nationwide, civics engagement program to teach the fundamentals of democracy to the next generation by volunteering at one of our Conferences (dates below), hosting a volunteer training at your organization, or with a financial gift.  We’re celebrating 70 years and counting of civics programming with our student judges, lawyers, legislators, advocates, and journalists!
