Premier Delegation Criteria:

Delegates at Camp Roberts

Premier Delegations exemplify the best traditions of the California YMCA Youth and Government program and the four core values of the YMCA. Recognition as Premier Delegation means that a delegation has met established criteria in the areas of Leadership, Unity & Spirit, Behavior, Participation, Volunteerism, and Administration. A committee made up of Staff, Deans, and a few selected Advisors will be responsible for identifying the Premier Delegations. Each delegation begins the year with no points. Throughout the year, disobeying rules and failing to meet requirements will result in an accumulation of points. In order to create more equity, the title of Premier Delegation will be awarded to delegations on a sliding scale based on their # of delegates.
