Y Club

YClub is an organization that is affiliated with the Kentucky YMCA Youth Association. They host leadership and community service-oriented programs aimed at adolescents throughout the year, the biggest two being Kentucky Youth Assembly and Kentucky United Nations Assembly. These two gatherings are called debatable conferences by the KYYMCA and function as mock government competitions between schools. Both conferences are almost entirely student-led; students create pieces of legislation based on needs that they see in their local and global communities and try to get that legislation "passed" by the student assembly. Something the KYYMCA prides themselves on is that these conferences are the largest mock-government competitions in the country.
