"The State YMCA of Georgia provides programs and opportunities for our youth which promote self-esteem, leadership skills and moral and civic responsibility."
Who We Are The State YMCA of Georgia is part of a nationwide YMCA teen leadership initiative, active in nearly 40 states. Since 1929, our organization has provided teens with the opportunity to develop leadership skills and experience democracy. State YMCA of Georgia programs consist of our Youth and Government model legislature, "Y" Clubs, as well as our many teen leadership initiatives. Most of our participants come from public and private schools from across the state that have a participating "Y" Club. There are several components that make up our teen programs, including:
- Youth Assembly (High School) and Junior (Middle School) Youth Assembly
- Georgia United Nations Assembly
- Washington Seminar
- YMCA Youth Conference on National Affairs
- "Y" Clubs
- Youth Training Conference
- Civic Youth Day
- Christian Life Conference
Students can participate in one or all of our teen programs and register through their local schools.
