Youth Development & Education
Help Shape Future Leaders – Volunteer with Youth & Government! Passionate about civic engagement? Love seeing young minds in action? The Y’s Youth & Government program empowers high school students to explore how government works and how they can be a part of the change. Through interactive experiences and real-world connections, students gain leadership skills, public speaking confidence, and a deeper understanding of civic responsibility. They’ll also have opportunities to network with policymakers and connect with professionals making a real impact in their communities, inspiring them to become the next generation of public servants, changemakers, and engaged citizens. 🎯 We’re looking for volunteers who can: - Serve as Adult Mentors to inspire and guide youth - Bring energy, creativity, and leadership to workshops and events - Help students turn ideas into action - Encourage meaningful connections with community leaders Whether you're a civic leader, educator, or a parent, college student or one who believes in youth potential—this is your chance to spark the next generation of change-makers! TO GET INVOLVED scroll down to "HOLD A POSITION" and click on the blue "VOLUNTEER" button next to the activity of your choice. A member of the Y staff will contact you to schedule an interview to discuss the volunteer role, necessary background checks, and training. Thank you for your willingness to support the youth and the YMCA.
To promote civic engagement and education for today's youth in the Greater Cincinnati area.
