The YMCA Louisiana Youth and Government (Y&G) program is a statewide initiative promoting civic engagement through the YMCA's philosophy of being an organization that is continuously active in exercising social responsibility. This particular program prepares high schoolers for moral and political leadership. Through Y&G, teens learn about and experience government policies first-hand and learn how they can be changemakers to improve their communities. Plus, teens form lasting friendships, benefit from mentors, and sharpen their critical thinking, public speaking and writing skills. The mission of the YMCA Youth & Government program is two-fold: To encourage and foster leadership through service, fellowship, responsibility, and respect for oneself and others among all participants, and To educate and engage students in the process of government from local to national to international so that they become more active participants in their communities.

Yes, the journey towards our collective liberation is demanding. Yes, it is deep work. But it's not a case of all work and no play. It's important to embrace joy and pleasure. In a world that wants to tie our “worth” to our productivity, making space for play is an act of resistance. Cultivating spaces for laughter, celebration, and relaxation not only sustains us but also fosters a sense of community and solidarity. It's simply people living the full, vibrant spectrum of human experience. Which is precisely what our collective work in the Resilient Racial Justice Leadership Certificate Program seeks to protect and elevate. Though we will be earnest stewards of our time together, it's not about “productivity.” It's about nourishing our souls and accessing our resilience. If you’d like to learn more about our Certificate Program, which is currently enrolling, please click the link in our bio. Enrollment is open now through Monday, January 15.
