O ur communities, our nation, and our planet face challenges that will require committed leadership to solve. California YMCA Youth & Government seeks to inspire young people to become those committed leaders, and to provide them with the tools they will need to become leaders of change.
For 70 years, California YMCA Youth & Government has provided middle and high school youth throughout the state and Greater Sacramento area the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of issues affecting their communities, our state, nation, and world.“ We strive to develop critical thinking and public speaking skills that allow our students to articulate and act upon their beliefs by providing them a platform for service learning, social responsibility and personal development,” says Debbie Gabelich, CEO.“ Our programs develop engaged citizens who are inspired to affect positive change in their schools, as well as the communities in which they live.”
Each year, California YMCA Youth & Government provides more than 4,500 youth a platform to find their voices and learn how to use them to foster positive change now, and as they transition into college and beyond.
“ We are a volunteer-driven organization, and could not offer our programming without the time and talent generously donated by our volunteers.
Youth & Government
We invite the Sacramento community to experience Youth & Government and the many opportunities to volunteer. There are multiple ways to become involved in inspiring future leaders who will positively impact the Sacramento community and beyond,” concludes Gabelich.
