The Youth Development YMCA serves over 14,000 children each year in our Before & After School, School’s Out Camp, and Summer Day Camp programs. Our goal is to never turn a family away based on inability to pay, as it is our belief that every child deserves opportunities to learn and grow in a safe environment. 100% of the dollars raised in the Y Kid Challenge goes directly towards scholarships or financial assistance for families in need.
