Educational Classes and Workshops
At the Y, we offer a sense of community, fellowship and support that enriches people’s lives.
You’re as likely to find a computer class as an aerobic class, and book clubs, walking clubs, group travel and cooking classes.
We offer programs that support the health of the mind, body and spirit, helping people bridge skills gaps and start on a path toward new passions and self-sufficiencies.

Education
Expanded Learning Programs
The YMCA Expanded Learning Programs partners with school districts and charter organizations to provide before school, after school, and summer learning programs that focus on developing the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of children and youth through hands-on, engaging learning experiences.
Enrichment
All kids 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 such as mentoring, youth government and college preparation, we make sure that every child has an opportunity to envision a positive future, and to take an active role in strengthening the community.
Certifications
YMCA’s require strong cause-driven leadership to effect lasting personal and social change.
This means our leaders are strong in nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility. We must prepare the next generation of Y leaders by encouraging and rewarding a commitment to professional development and lifelong learning.
Certifications signify an individual’s knowledge and skill development in areas critical to the Y’s success.
Healthy Lifestyles
The Y aims to improve the nation’s health and well-being by providing programs and activities that promote wellness, reduce risk for disease, and help others reclaim their health.
These programs and everything else the Y does are in service of making us — our Y’s and our communities — better. The result is a country that values health and communities that support healthy choices.
