YMCA YOUTH
\nCONFERENCE\u00a0ON NATIONAL AFFAIRS<\/h1>\n

The YMCA Youth Conference on National Affairs was started in 1968 as a follow-up to the outstanding state Youth &\u00a0Government programs conducted by the YMCA throughout the US.<\/p>\n

This program offers unusual opportunities for a young person to do research in the area of National and International concern; to organize this information into a proposal; to engage in intensive discussion and to debate these proposals with understanding young people from other states.<\/p>\n

Young people who have participated in the YMCA Young Conference on National Affairs are unanimous in their belief that this experience makes a vital contribution in helping young citizens to learn more about the democratic form of Government.<\/p>\n

The objectives of the program are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To gain awareness of National concerns and issues.<\/li>\n
  2. To increase understanding of Federal Government and its relations to State, National and International matters.<\/li>\n
  3. To have and use a means for communicating concerns about National Affairs to appropriate persons and groups at Federal Government levels.<\/li>\n
  4. To develop increased understanding of needs, responsibilities and opportunities.<\/li>\n
  5. To work creatively together with young adults and adults.<\/li>\n
  6. To help youth and adults better understand and strengthen their values for living through Christian objectives of the YMCA.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The conference is held at Blue Ridge Assembly in North Carolina, located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
