Every year, it brings hundreds of delegates to Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut to simulate the United States Congress.
During the conference, high school delegates participate in one of approximately thirty committees, chaired by Yale undergraduates.
Each committee has between fifteen and twenty-five delegates, making YMC the most personal of the college Model Congress conferences.
In the past, special programs have included simulations of the Supreme Court, where students debate the constitutionality of passed legislation, and the Presidential Cabinet, where delegates respond to crises and advise the president on which bills to sign or veto.
Except for a few local schools, delegations spend the weekend staying at the Omni or the nearby New Haven Hotel.
