Civic Engagement

Civic Engagement-2
YOUTH & GOVERNMENT
YOUTH & GOVERNMENT

Teens in grades 7-12 will have the opportunity to enrich their understanding of civics by actively participating in a simulated legislative process leading to the enactment of laws. Delegates will participate as senators, assembly people, justices, lawyers, media members, and other political figures. 

Throughout the program, delegates are mentored by a dedicated volunteer staff of NJ YAG alumni who currently study and work in a variety of fields. 

An active YMCA of Montclair membership is required to participate in programming.
