"Democracy must be learned by each generation."

The overall purpose of the Alabama YMCA Youth Legislature is to prepare a select group of young people for moral and political leadership by providing guidance, training, and experience in the theory and practice of determining public policy. In addition, the program has as its primary goals the following:

	To provide a fellowship that makes for an understanding of other people's problems.
	To learn to accept defeat without discouragement.
	To stimulate tolerance toward another's point of view.

The Alabama YMCA Youth Legislature is fully supported by the Alabama Legislature as the premier youth program in the state, specifically tailored for learning and experiencing the legislative process.

The program receives a nominal annual appropriation to help offset the costs of its Sessions and training programs.
