Youth and Government (YAG), the spring counterpart of the WHS Model U.N. program, is a YMCA-sponsored mock legislative program in which students perform various roles related to state government. Students are assigned or selected for positions such as state legislators, judiciary members, lobbyists, assembly/senate speakers and clerks, and members of the Governor’s Cabinet. There is also a Youth Governor, who is elected the preceding year at the YAG conference. More than 400 students from nearly two dozen New Jersey high schools participate annually in the conference.
