07/28/2026

One of our Youth & Government delegates, Yohann, recently flew on Southwest Airlines for the 2026 YMCA Conference on National Affairs (C**A). He writes about his recent flight experience:

"I am extremely grateful to Southwest Airlines for their generosity and support of Texas YMCA Youth & Government! Their donation helped make it possible for delegates like me to represent Texas at C**A, an experience that had a tremendous impact on my personal growth and leadership development.

One flight attendant even took a moment to give us a shout out on the flight announcements and sang for everyone on board!

Thank you again to Southwest Airlines for their continued support of youth leadership programs and development!"
