The YMCA offers comprehensive programs that help people of all ages grow, learn and make positive choices in a challenging world. To insure that everyone who wishes to participate can have the opportunity to do so, hundreds of volunteers participate annually in an effort to raise funds for scholarships and program subsidies in low-income areas. You can have an influence in building strong kids and strong families within your community. For the adventuresome, resident camps in the Colorado mountains offer a variety of exciting activities. Kids have the chance to express their talents in the arts, sports and other areas of interest, taking advantage of all the Y has to offer.
Time is set aside for tackling homework, with adult help available.
Y staff knows how to challenge children and listen to them. The YMCA brings out the best in every participant. Volunteer coaches teach the fundamentals of each sport, helping kids build self-confidence. Youth sports include soccer, martial arts, T-ball, flag football and basketball. Broader-based, multilevel, multicultural sports programs should be developed for youth and adults, with a variety and number of sports offered.
