Youth development: our y is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That is why we help young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our y programs such as after school enrichment, preschool, youth sports, summer day camp and ymca residential camp sessions offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. In 2024 we served 1,529 young people through our youth development programs. Of those children 138 of the young people we engaged received subsidies from our affordable for all scholarship fund or other government funds which helped them cover the costs of our programming.
