STATE
CONFERENCE January 26-27, 2018
Austin, TX
Welcome, volunteers!
WELCOME! A MESSAGE FROM OUR VOLUNTEER TEAM
Dear volunteers,
Thank you so much for volunteering with the YMCA Texas Youth and Government program! Social responsibility is one
of the three focus areas of the YMCA. Generosity toward others is at the core of the Y’s existence. It is through the
support of our volunteers that the YMCA is able to give back to the community. When you are involved with the YMCA,
you have the opportunity to collaborate with others to create lasting personal and social change.
Across the United States, more than 500,000 business leaders, community advocates, parents, teens, and individuals
who want to give back and support their neighbors volunteer at the Y. That’s because we have the presence and
partnerships not just to promise but truly to deliver positive, personal, and social change in more than 10,000
neighborhoods across the country. The Texas Youth and Government program alone expects more than 1,100
students to attend this year’s High School State Conference.
With a focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, Y volunteers give men, women, and
children of all ages and from all walks of life the resources and support they need to be healthy, confident, connected,
and secure.
You are the core of our impact. We want to extend a sincere thank you for your commitment and willingness to serve
youth in Texas.
Sincerely,
Texas Youth and Government Volunteer Team
Angela Castilleja, State Director
Andrew Wiggins, District Executive
Molly Martin, Program Specialist
Ishmael Behrhorst, Volunteer Coordinator
