Youth and Teen Development Programs:Our YMCA is dedicated to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We firmly believe working with youth and teens involves much more than developing specific skills for sports or individual activities. Those are merely the tools to develop something much more important the whole child from the inside out. Our programs use the platform of a specific activity to teach skills necessary for life that are valuable at any age. This includes enjoying an active lifestyle, being part of a team, making good choices, playing fair, persevering against obstacles, stretching yourself to meet your potential and perhaps most important of all, being confident in who you are. Depending on the age or interests of our young participants, a variety of programs are available to teach those skills in an environment of spirited fun and, in some cases, friendly competition. The Y makes sure every child has an opportunity to envision and pursue a positive future and to take an active role in strengthening his or her community. Our programs offer opportunities for youth and teens to learn values and positive behaviors as they explore their own unique talents and interests. We help them realize their potential, giving them confidence today that will make them contributing and engaging adults tomorrow. We offer a variety of sports, recreation, and leadership programs such as Y Achievers, chess club, kids fitness, swim lessons, youth sports bright beginnings, outdoor education and Y leaders club all of which are designed to offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. We also offer an exercise and social skills program for youth and teens on the autism spectrum. The programs are either land-based or water-based and designed to get kids active and nurture their potential while in a safe environment. In 2024, 23,249 youth and teens were engaged in Y programing, and the Y was able to provide $171,266 in financial assistance to make the programs affordable and accessible. The Y also provided 941 youth in Guilford and Rockingham County with free safety around water lessons through the support of POOLCORP.
