Our YMCAs are dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable programs for our youth. All Y programs are open to all, with financial aid available. Staff members are partners with parents and other caregivers, working together to help kids grow up healthy, happy and strong. Throughout the year, YMCA after school programs, youth and teen sports, preschool, summer care, Youth and Government, arts and humanities activities and teen leadership programs give kids the chance to make positive choices about their lives and how they spend their time. Every program offers parental involvement and other positive adult role models, and each is rooted in the Y's four core values - Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Caring.
