Overview
Mission
To strengthen our community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
What it reported doing in 2025
The ymca New Jersey youth and government (nj yag) program holds a two-and-a-half-day legislative simulation where students debate bills that they have written, forge new friendships and gain a deeper sense of civic awareness. Students in ymca nj yag get to put their skills to the test and learn through experience and first hand participation as senators, assemblymen, justices, lobbyists, and members of the media in our legislative simulation. Students are able to address issues by writing, debating, and passing legislation. Through our program, students are also guided through positive youth and character development activities. The conference is guided by the ymca four core values--caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, which guides the students' approach to leadership roles and conference planning. Each weekend includes a community service project designed to build a theme and foster the tone of service to others for every participant. Ymca New Jersey youth and government aims to show all its participants that they can make a difference by being civically engaged in their communities on a state or national level.
