AGC’s Founding and Managing Partner, Arnold M. Alvarez-Glasman was recently honored by California YMCA Youth & Government as one of its most outstanding volunteers. Arnold has volunteered for the YMCA Youth & Government for 23 years, serving with youth delegations and the Jury Trial Program. For the past 18 years, he has served on the Board of Directors, the last four years as Board Chair.
The Youth & Government Commemorative Book was dedicated to Arnold. Past honorees include other California leaders such as Bill Lockyer, Jack O’Connell, and George Deukmejian. Click here to see the dedication.
YMCA Youth & Government seeks to educate high school students about the principles of democratic government. Over 40 states and the District of Columbia have Youth & Government programs. Most of these programs consist of a model legislature composed of high school students who write legislation and gather for a week to debate their proposed laws in their actual state capitol building. The California YMCA includes around 2200 youth from over 85 different delegations.
Congratulations, Arnold!
