Helping Children & Youth Thrive
Providing opportunities for personal growth and development is at the heart of what we do.
YMCA programs & services like Early Learning and Afterschool Care, Alternative Suspension, Tween Zone, Youth Connections encourage positive connections by providing places where children and youth can get together, do the things they like, and take part in healthy, productive activities. By connecting children and youth to their potential, purpose and each other, they are discovering how awesome they really are!
“YMCA Alternative Suspension gave me another connection to my community outside of school. The staff made me feel welcome which made it easier to focus on the workshops and building skills. They even called to check in on me after my participation in the program, which made me feel really cared for and valued.”
