KYA Resource Overview

The 2023 Youth Governors Report is now available!

Note: After each KYA season we take feedback from advisors, students and KY YMCA staff to continually improve our programming. 2023 Changes are now here!

To help your delegation prepare for KYA, we’ve organized all of the resources you’ll need on this online resource page. Our resources are divided into the following sections:

  • Advisor Resources – resources for Advisors to utilize when preparing their KYA delegations and logistics.
  • KYA Role Guides – downloadable guides to every role and officer position in each KYA program area.
  • Program Area Resources – resources to assist students in preparing for their various roles in our KYA program areas: Bluegrass and Commonwealth House & Senate, Cabinet & Lobbyists, Supreme Court, and Media Corps

Many resources are updated each year, so please be sure to check for updates to resources. If you have any questions about a resource, or want to recommend a new resources for this page, please send an email to rianna@kyymca.org!
