The mission of the YMCA New Mexico Youth and Government program is to cultivate and empower the next generation of engaged and informed citizens. We are committed to providing comprehensive leadership training that equips young individuals with the knowledge, skills, and passion to actively participate in our democracy and contribute to their communities.

 NMYAG is a non-partisan initiative designed to foster an understanding of the fundamental principles and processes of democracy and Constitutional governance. Through immersive experiences, interactive discussions, and practical simulations, we strive to create an inclusive platform where youth can explore and address the issues that impact their lives and communities.
