TEEN PROGRAMS

All teens have great potential. At the Y, we help them set and achieve their personal and 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 leadership and academic enrichment programs, we make sure that every youth and teen has the opportunity to envision a positive future, and to take an active role in strengthening the community. Here are the teen programs we offer: 

Teen L.I.F.E.

Teen L.I.F.E (Leadership, Inclusion, Friendship, Education) - Looking for fun, friendship, and ways to become a better leader? Teen L.I.F.E. members will participate in recreational activities, Y and community volunteer projects, fundraising, and more. Members in good standing can earn a free YMCA Youth membership.  Check out our Program Guide for additional information.
