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!!
"MGA was the catalyst for me to actually discern that I had a passion for politics and policy. This program truly countered apathy in students my age - and personally, I think that may be the most important education we can receive."
