Youth & Teen

(5th - 8th Grade Y Members)
Looking to do something fun after school instead of going home? Hang out in the Lounge, do homework, shoot hoops, climb the rock wall or swim. The Y provides a safe, welcoming environment where middle schoolers can feel a sense of belonging and build positive relationships all while having fun after school!

Electronic Sports, or Esports, takes on the form of organized, multiplayer online video game competitions and is one of the fastest growing trends for youth engagement. The Y can be the best open and competitive esports league in the country for youth through a private, in person and online competitive program where kids and parents can be safe, moderated, and trained.

Committed to youth development, it makes sense that the Y is the ideal partner to support your homeschool efforts. Along with courses that challenge young scholars, we also offer engaging experiences that keep students active and help them build solid relationships.

We are excited to announce that we are revamping our Leadership Volunteer Program (LVP) to provide a leadership development program that will better serve the teens in our community!  

Safety training programs make protecting and saving lives possible. We offer a unique classroom setting that encourages discussion, helping young adults as they grow in their desire and ability to be a positive force in the community.
 

We impact our community by supporting teens as they develop lifelong habits for health and well-being in an environment which fosters becoming respectful, responsible, honest and caring individuals in order to develop into contributing members of the community.
