Much has been made during this historic election season about the increase in voter interest and participation, particularly among young people. During the recent YMCA Youth Governors Conference, several teens joined the conversation to share their views on this election, the issues, the candidates, the power of the youth vote and where they'd like to see our country headed. The YMCA Youth Governors Conference is the key training event for the student governor as a Servant Leader before their tenure in their YMCA Youth & Government Program. During the week, the student sees the political world from inside our nation's capital. There are opportunities for the students to hear many views, observe servant leadership in action and ask questions. The youth governors also meet with their senators and representatives to talk about issues important to them and affecting their home states.
