State
Director’s Conference
The YMCA Youth Conference
on National Affairs was started in 1968 as a follow-up to the
outstanding state Youth in Government programs conducted by
the YMCA throughout the US. The success of the
conference is directly attributed to the leadership of many
YMCA Professionals and Laymen but primarily to the dedication
of the Youth involved. Last year, young people from
thirty-three states and the District of Columbia participated
in the Conference.
The objectives of the program
are:
1. To gain an awareness of National concerns
and issues.
2. To increase understanding of
Federal Government and its relation to State, National and
International matters.
3. To have and use a means
for communicating concerns about National Affairs to
appropriate persons and groups at Federal Government levels.
4. To develop increased understanding of needs,
responsibilities and opportunities.
5. To work
creatively together with young adults and adults.
6. To help youth and adults to better understand
and strengthen their values for living through the Christian
objectives of the YMCA.
