1.     Basic philosophy of responsible conduct: Essential to the Youth and Government program is the concern and respect for the rights of every individual.  Being responsible for your own behavior and attitude at all times is an essential element of self-government benefiting not only ourselves, but fellow delegates and the New York State YMCA Youth and Government Program.

d.       Any act of vandalism, destruction of property, or misuse of a facility may be a crime and will be treated as such.

e.       Attendance and punctuality is mandatory at all work sessions

f.        Those who decide to be present when a violation occurs shall, by their own choice, be considered a participant in the violation.  In this program there are no “innocent bystanders.”

g.       This is a full tobacco free event. There will be no smoking, chewing, use of e-cigarettes etc. in the Government buildings, in the hotel or any other facility where Youth and Government activities take place. 

h.       Badges shall be worn by individuals whose name is on the badge.  BADGE SWITCHING OR SHARING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.  Participants will wear their assigned badges at all times when they are not in their sleeping rooms.  Badges are to be worn above the waist and must be visible and worn at all times.  Badges are not to be defaced, decorated, or altered in anyway.  Only advisors can request replacement badges.
