The Youth Training Conference (YTC) provides an opportunity for Georgia teens to come together with other teens from across the state in a hands-on learning environment. The theme of this conference changes on a yearly basis and focuses on areas such as leadership development, community service, clarifying values, celebrating diversity, building and strengthening relationships, discussing current social issues, setting goals and action steps, and learning to be a mentor.

For more information, check out the YTC menu to the right of this page.

During this three day conference, teens focus on innovative opportunities to develop their character and self worth, share the thrill of empowerment, and strengthen the art of communication with their peers. Such activities instill a sense of ownership among them and help them better meet the challenges that face them daily.  Participants work in a variety of settings with trained adult facilitators and YMCA staff.

Graduated Seniors:

Are you one of the thousands of students who fell in love with Y-Club?  Remember all of the club meetings, the Youth Assemblies, the Christian Life Conferences, the District Rallies…?  Are you sad to be “graduating” from Y-Club?

Well, there is good news for you!  You don’t have to “graduate” from Y-Club.  Instead, you simply take the next step.  If you will recall, all of our conferences have an awesome College Alumni Staff, who teach classes, lead in games and recreation, lead small groups… In short, the College Alumni Staff (CAS) are the ones who make the conferences happen.

As a graduating senior, you are invited to take part in the Graduated Senior’s Program at this year’s YTC.  The conference is July 18-20 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) at Rock Eagle.  In this program, you will go through training to join the ranks of our College Alumni Staff.
