How does United Way support YMCA?
The YMCA offers an exciting program for our preteen/teens of the area. This program is designed for preteens/teens to have an adventurous and enjoyable summer and have an opportunity to socially interact with other children of the same age. Club members experience a summer filled with diverse activities in the form of sports, swimming, community projects, mentoring programs, and so much more. The program includes a variety of scheduled activities including theme days/weeks, guest speakers and presentations, and field trips.
This program is supervised by certified Instructors and other qualified staff. The program is designed to meet the needs of all children and their families without regards to race, religion,
age, ancestry, national origin, or disabilities. The YMCA also offers a Child Nutrition Program to club members. Participants receive a FREE BREAKFAST and LUNCH during the program days. There will be NO ADDITIONAL COST for this service.
