What it reported doing in 2025

Youth Development - Youth Development has three major components: Before and After School, Y Day & Kids Camp, and Youth Sports. All of these components serve kiddos in the primary age range of 5 to 12 years old, but youth sports, such as swimming and gymnastics, may include youth up to 18 years old. When appropriate, transportation to and from school or camp is provided by the YMCA. The unique part of youth development programming is none of the three components goes year around. This makes them complimentary in a sense yet require extra staffing during programming because of the difficulty of finding staff who have all the required skills, abilities, knowledge, and experience.
