Our events reflect non-denominational, universal beliefs that transcend all cultures. We consistently demonstrate respect and support for all families, appreciating their right to determine and practice their own beliefs.

The purpose of our afterschool program is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for all children by promoting healthy character development of spirit, mind and body. We work collaboratively with families, communities and school districts to ensure that each child receives a consistent set of life skills for success. To meet these goals, our Y Afterschool program incorporates the five Y Core Values, the 40 Developmental Assets set forth by the Search Institute, and the experiential learning model.

Each of our Y staff is carefully chosen to be positive role models and caring individuals. Every staff working in our program will attend training seminars which include topics such as leadership skills, positive discipline, creating excitement, learning new games, health & safety, CPR & First Aid, Child Abuse Prevention as well as many others.
