Become an Alumni Association Member

Congratulations! You're one of the 40,000 individuals who can call themselves alumni of the Illinois YMCA Youth and Government program! We invite you to reconnect through our Alumni Association! Receive the best of each year's bills, Observer newspapers, and Judicial Review straight to your inbox as well as exclusive access to alumni events, discounts for other fundraising events, and a more direct connection to the Annual Assembly.

Alumni Association membership fees fund two key initiatives for Youth & Government:

• The inaugural Youth and Government Scholarship program: Providing a $1000 scholarship to two current graduating seniors that can be used for continuing education; tuition, books, trades school or housing.
• Program fee subsidies & scholarships: This year we've subsidized the program fee by $175 for each student at a cost of $160,476.00. Additionally, we've awarded over $26,000 in need based scholarships in order to ensure that every student across the state has an opportunity to attend.

Please consider becoming a patron today to hear about your impact directly from our students and invest in the next generation of student leaders!
