This bill is a memorial that designates February 12, 2025, as "New Mexico YMCA Youth and Government Day" in the House of Representatives. It recognizes the significant contributions of the New Mexico alliance of YMCAs, which has been instrumental in promoting youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility for over a century. The memorial highlights the impact of YMCA programs, which serve more than 22,000 residents annually, including over 6,000 youth who participate in various enrichment activities, summer camps, and developmental sports programming.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of the YMCA's youth and government program, which has been fostering civic engagement among middle and high school students for over sixty years. This program provides students with a comprehensive understanding of state government through hands-on experiences in model governmental branches during conferences held at the state capitol. The memorial concludes by calling for copies to be sent to the chairs of the boards of directors of several YMCAs, acknowledging their role in this educational initiative.
