Welcome to the YMCA MYIG High School Program

YMCA Michigan Youth in Government is a student run, student led model government program for teens across the state of Michigan. We provide the content and resources for delegations to organize locally to prepare for regional and statewide events. The program year starts with a regional Fall Training Conference and culminates in a Spring Conference in Lansing. The high school program includes various program areas in which students can get involved. These program areas model the systems that make our democracy run. Our motto is "Democracy must be learned by each generation." Click the links below to learn more today, there is truly something for everyone!
