After School
As the leading nonprofit for strengthening community, the YMCA is for youth development, nurturing confident, engaged kids today and healthy, contributing adults tomorrow.
We believe that every child should have the opportunities to pursue their dreams and reach their God-given potential. At the YMCA, children can discover who they are and what they can achieve through afterschool program.
When the school day is over, where and how children spend their time is vital to their growth and success in life. At the Y, we help kids reach their potential and thrive in a safe, trustworthy setting. Through support and guidance, our afterschool program provides enrichment activities in the arts, music, physical education, sports, and nutrition. We encourage children to make healthy choices, explore new things and exercise their creativity through experiences that support Christian values.
We know it's important to offer a predictable environment so that children know what to expect each day. We balance that with a stimulating set of activities that foster healthy growth and development. Kids can focus on making new friends, build social skills, and create happy memories they'll always remember. The YMCA is a place where children feel comfortable and secure. And we're just around the corner, with hours and locations convenient to your family's schedule and life balance.
