He then attended the University of Maryland, College Park in College Park, Maryland and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and government.
Young completed his formal education by earning a Masters of Education degree in administration and supervision from Western Maryland College (later McDaniel College) in Westminster, Maryland.

In his spare time Senator Young loves to paint. He has held numerous art shows where he sells his paintings and all of the proceeds he donates to a scholarship fund for Frederick Community College.
Young became involved in local politics in the late 1960s, primarily in the Frederick County Young Democrats organization along with several friends, among them Galen R. Clagett.
