The YMCA’s Youth in Government (YIG) program will have an initial informational meeting at the Sturgeon Bay facility on Monday for parents and students. The goal is to teach students the ins and outs of the legislative and judicial branches of government and the press corps. Program and Innovative Director Tyler Powell shares how the YIG program gets teens involved in how the government works.

The Youth in Government is open to any Door County student from 7th to 12th grade. The Sturgeon Bay YMCA Program Center will host the meeting on Monday, October 3 at 6:30 pm for parents and students interested in discovering more about the Youth in Government organization.
