Freehold YMCA Youth & Government

Youth and Government is a national program sponsored by the YMCA, enabling high school students everywhere to prepare the political and moral leaders in all of them through the practical application of public policy.

Every April, delegates from all over the state come together and engage in politicking at the magnificent State House right in Trenton, having fun and making tons of friends along the way!

Our mission is to give students the opportunity to actively participate in NJ legislature and judiciary and promote political awareness while ultimately granting delegates the chance to discover and hone important social skills and qualities such as development of opinions, career-building, moral/ethical values, public speaking, and leadership.
