Democracy must be learned by each generation. YMCA Youth and Government™ in Oregon is a civic engagement program empowering high school students to participate in government. Part of a nationwide initiative, Oregon's program offers model government simulations, hands-on leadership experience, and advocacy and service-learning activities to foster civic responsibility. We have been given permission to use the hearing rooms as well as the Senate and House Chambers in the newly renovated State Capitol for our 80th Youth Legislative Conference!
