Each summer, Kentucky sends a delegation of 25 delegates to serve as representatives of our program at the YMCA Conference on National Affairs, or CONA. The weeklong conference is held at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in North Carolina that serves as the nationwide culmination for each of the YMCA Youth and Government programs around the country. The conference brings together the top students from each state program to debate proposals on issues facing our nation and world.

How to Attend
Applications by invitation only. Invitations are distributed to Award Winners as well as incoming and outgoing Presiding Officers during Closing Ceremonies at KYA and KUNA.
