Family Programs

Leadership Club (14-17 years)
Leadership Club is one of the YMCA’s most intensive and comprehensive teen programs, providing club members with opportunities for leadership training, personal growth, service to others, and social development. Young people meet on a weekly basis in small groups, working closely with their peers and a counselor on skill- and character-building activities, as well as on planning and organizing club projects.

All programs provide a safe haven for young people to become confident and competent adults with a sense of belonging in their community, and promote and enhance the personal growth and social skills of young people in order to develop leaders who will be a positive force in their communities. By connecting with adult advisors, teens have role models and mentors who can have a positive impact on their lives. Please look for posters and signs to come with days and times!
