A worldwide charitable fellowship united by a common loyalty to Jesus Christ for the purpose of helping people grow in spirit, mind and body. YCAP (YMCA Community Action Programs) serves at-risk and underserved youth, from kindergarten through graduation, in the Metro Nashville/Davidson County area helping youth achieve the brightest future possibly by closing the opportunity gap. We serve students through our mentoring programs, elementary school Y-Literacy Program middle school intervention and prevention programs, and high school Achievers Programs, all at no cost to participants. Our goal is to serve the whole child – spirit, mind and body – offering support and encouragement from caring adults, modeling the love of Christ. Our K-12 umbrella currently covers more than 1200 students from 10 middle schools, 12 high schools and 42 elementary schools in the Metro Nashville Public School district.
