Welcome to the YMCA
The Virginia Y is a statewide educational organization promoting leadership and civic engagement for teenagers in the Commonwealth. For over 65 years, students have participated in programs such as the Model General Assembly, Model Judicial Program, Hi-Y/Tri-Hi-Y/Youth & Government Clubs, and the Williamsburg program. These programs provide opportunities for students to become leaders and see first-hand the inner workings of the state government. Contact us to get involved!!

It was also a place where one could debate politics without the heat and anger often associated with discussing politics."
