1 LEARN. LEAD. SERVE. YMCA of Honolulu Youth & Government Program Stand Up. Speak Out. Be the Difference.
2 YMCA of Honolulu Youth & Government The YMCA of Honolulu Youth & Government encompasses various ways to participate for students of all ages and interests. All students learn about the democratic process and YAG offers students the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of issues, develop critical thinking skills, and articulate their beliefs while engaging constructively with those who hold like and opposing views. Ways to Participate Legislative Branch 6th-7th Grade Youth as lobbyists or aides, students will participate in the same training as other students. Lobbyists will select and support bills they connect and feel passionate about assisting youth legislators in the promotion of their bill. 8th-12th Grade Youth student Representatives and Senators elect their leadership, research current events, and write bills throughout program months. For these legislators, the experience culminates in a three day conference with opening ceremonies in the Hawai`i Senate Floor and seeking the signature by the Youth Governor. The Press Corps 6th-12th Grade Youth youth journalists, reporters, and camera technicians will work under the supervision of the elected Youth Editor in Chief to research, interview for, and present accurate articles regarding the Youth & Government program. Participants of The Press Corps are responsible for communications to all Youth in Government participants via , social media, and newsletters throughout the year. Conference On Participate Today Join your local YMCA delegation or start your own delegation today, contact us at YAG@ymcahonolulu.org. Current delegates reside all over Oahu, and the islands of Maui, Molokai, & Hawaii. Starting your own delegation is easy. Training, support, and resources are available. National Affairs 9th-12th Grade Youth students represent the State of Hawaii at YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in North Carolina discussing and debating national or international issues. An experience like no other to share Hawaii s aloha spirit while putting Hawaii on the national scene. Global Issues Network 9th-12th Grade Youth students will participate in the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools hosted event gathering youth to not just discuss, but problem solve the world s top 20 pressing issues. Students will be able to collaborate locally, regionally, and globally creating project based sustainable solutions for our shared global issues.
3 YMCA Youth & Government State Director: Mr. Cassidy Inamasu Office: Nuuanu YMCA 1441 Pali Highway Honolulu Hawaii DIRECTOR S MESSAGE TO DELEGATES Youth & Government in Hawaii is a significant and unique program. We will be celebrating our 66 th session this year, meaning yes, the program has existed longer than Hawaii has been a state. Hundreds have benefited from the dialogue and friendships that one can only get from an experience in Youth & Government and we welcome you to that experience. Over the years we have challenged ourselves to ensure we are providing a relevant, student led, inclusive and accessible, high quality program. We remain flexible as we continue to find just the right formula; however, we are on the right path as we expand our depth and reach. This year we have partnered with We Vote Hawaii to link our efforts to engage youth in civic education and action beyond a program or classroom. We are also participating in the Global Issues Network hosted by the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools (HAIS) engaging youth across the globe to create project based solutions to our glaring global issues. Our outcomes for Youth & Government remain the same; participants will: 1. Have a greater connection to the YMCA 2. Know and understand the democratic, legislative process 3. Gain knowledge of local, national, and international issues 4. Value partnerships and collaborations 5. Have the skills and knowledge necessary to be a servant leader These outcomes are our guiding light to push us to do better and to do more for all of the youth we serve thus strengthening community. It was said best by one of our first year students, At first, I only joined Youth & Government to meet girls. I didn t know how serious it was, but man, when I started to take it serious, I felt like the real deal. This program made me realize how much I can do to help the world. In this election year, be involved. Work with your social studies teacher, school administration, We Vote Hawaii, or us at the Y to assist you further in submitting articles to Civil Beat, organize voter registration drives, organize candidate debates or voter turnout rallies, or become a spokesperson with We Vote Hawaii for leadership and civic engagement. But, above all else, make sure you vote and have your voice heard. Thank you for your interest in wanting to join us in as we engage in the 66 th session and shape our future.
