Getting Started

If you currently live in one of the states/territories listed below and are interested in starting a formal statewide Youth and Government program, please reach out to Derek Summerville at derek.summerville@ymca.net to schedule a consultation, and we will get you connected with the Y in your community and/or your State Alliance of YMCAs.

Students in each of these states are currently able to apply and serve as part of their state’s YMCA Youth Cabinet, which would serve as the foundation for efforts to launch a formal statewide program.
