YMCA Texas Youth & Government
The YMCA Texas Youth & Government District and State Conference has a Dress Code that all participants must adhere by. This includes all adults and volunteers. The categories of the attire required are based on the session/event/function. Categories: BUSINESS ATTIRE, DRESSY, BUSINESS CASUAL AND CASUAL Participants, advisors and staff will follow a dress code during program activities and official functions. Students and all adults are expected to bring appropriate attire to Youth and Government events. Those not in appropriate attire will be asked to change clothes. Not having any other clothes is not an acceptable excuse for not being compliant to dress code expectations – delegates and adults dress inappropriately may be asked to borrow appropriate clothing. Never appropriate outside of assigned hotel room:
Any clothing with inappropriate language or imagery Any see-through or extremely tight-fitting clothing Bare midriffs or tank tops Tube tops, tube skirts or tube dresses Leggings or sweat pants Pajamas, slippers or any other sleeping attire Flip flops
Keep in Mind: Hems of dresses/skirts must be no more than 3” above the knee or lower for all functions – business or casual. Undergarments must be worn – by males and females. Visible undergarments are not permitted. Hats are only permitted in outdoor settings (for males and females). Casual dress and proper footwear is appropriate for most evening activities. T-shirts, tennis shoes and denim in any form,
are not appropriate during program functions but may be acceptable during evening activities. Proper footwear is required outside of assigned hotel room. Personal attire reflects upon the attitude, quality, purpose and dignity of the student
At the State Conference advisors will ask you to return to your room and change if all or part of your clothing is not
suitable attire. If you are asked to change, you must do so, but please do not take it personally. This does not mean that we are criticizing your sense of style and fashion. Consequences for not following Dress Code One or more of the following can occur:
Sent back to room to change
Not able to participate in section Evening activities privilege revoked Delegation not named Premier Delegation
Dress Code Exception YMCA Y&G Government Security will be the exception to the Dress Code. While on duty, YMCA Staff and volunteers who will be part of the Y&G Security Team are provided a T-shirt to wear that identify them as “Security.” Y&G
Security can wear jeans, khakis or shorts with their t-shirt. This only applies while on security duty, otherwise dress code is followed. Too much to read? See chart and pictures for what is expected!
