Welcome to SC YMCA Youth in Government!
The fall conference dates are Sunday, November 14 through Wednesday, November 17. The conference is in-person. Space is limited in order to manage distancing goals.
Students are not required to be vaccinated, nor are they required to disclose vaccination status. However, students who choose not to disclose or who are not vaccinated will be asked to provide a negative PCR test from no later than 72 hours prior to the conference and take an on-site rapid test.
Please complete this form and select your intended role. for the conference. We expect roles to fill up, so your registration date and intended role will be used to assign spots. NOTE: All first-time high school student legislators must select Premier Legislature as their role. Your previous participation in Middle School YIG does not count. Returning high school YIG student legislators will select Upper Chamber Legislature. Media and Lobbyist positions require an additional application. All other positions are open to any student.

Our core values are caring, honesty, respect and responsibility—they guide everything we do.
