Mass. Youth in Government Conference<br />
Davis Tuan of <strong>Millis</strong>,<br />
a sophomore at Boston College<br />
High School, was one of<br />
the twenty-five BC High<br />
students who participated<br />
at the annual YMCA Youth<br />
in Government Conference<br />
from March 20 to 22 at the<br />
Massachusetts State House<br />
on Beacon Hill. The young<br />

Representative Patrick<br />
Kearney ‘13 of Scituate.<br />
The Youth in Government<br />
Club, moderated by faculty<br />
member Elise Wilson, is part<br />
of a Greater Boston YMCA<br />
program which allows high<br />
school students to learn about<br />
state government and participate<br />
in the process of the State<br />
House with other students from<br />
throughout Massachusetts. Students<br />
take on various roles in<br />
the state government including<br />
the legislative, executive,<br />
and judicial branches as well as<br />
lobbyists and the press corps.<br />
Youth & Government is one of<br />
the YMCA’s oldest programs<br />
established in 1936. The program<br />
teaches young people<br />
about state government, while<br />
at the same time helps them<br />
to develop their own character<br />
through learning values stressed<br />
by the YMCA - caring, respect,<br />
honesty, and responsibility.<br />
