CONA & NJC At-Large Nomination Form

At-Large Nomination Form

YMCA Staff/Volunteers, Educators, and Community Members (including student peers!) can use this form to nominate high school students (grades 9-12) as at-large participants for the following YMCA Youth and Government national programs:

Nominated students will receive a copy of your nomination, along with a link to the at-large application for either CONA or NJC that they must submit to be considered.

Only students from the states listed on this nomination form are eligible to serve as at-large delegates. Students from all other states must follow the CONA or NJC selection process for their respective Youth and Government program.
Selected at-large applicants will be paired with the CONA delegation from a nearby Youth and Government to attend the conference.
Once paired, at-large delegates will pay the conference fee and travel costs (flight/bus) set by their host delegation.

Note: This nomination form is not required for students to apply as at-large participants at CONA or NJC, but is encouraged!

If you have any questions before submitting your nomination, please email cona@ymcayag.org (for CONA) or njc@ymcayag.org (for NJC).
