Please note that these programs are not currently open enrollment as we work directly with local schools to recruit children. Academic Enrichment All kids have great potential. At the Y, we help them set and achieve their educational goals. They gain confidence as they recognize the Y as a place where they belong and can feel comfortable exploring new interests and passions. Through academic enrichment programs, we make sure that every child has an opportunity to envision a positive future, and to take an active role in strengthening the community. Leadership Development To support and encourage our youth, we offer training and programs that they need to further personal development and ultimately become role models who pursue and inspire positive community and environmental change. Youth will build confidence, feel pride and take a greater responsibility for their surroundings.
