In addition to the high school Youth in Government conferences, the YMCA of Middle Tennessee holds a similar conference for middle school students. The conference offers younger students an introduction to the Tennessee Legislature. While the one-day conference is simplified compared to the larger-scale high school versions, the students benefit from the same valuable educational opportunities when drafting and debating bills.
