Youth and Teen Programs

Youth/Teen ProgramsThe North Bay YMCA offers a full complement of Youth and Teen programs, ranging from after school sports to teen leadership. We know the value of building strong kids. Countless studies have shown that organized activities are critical to the healthy development of youth and teens and the communities where they live.

We offer a wide range of supervised activities designed to keep youth and teens constructively active while having fun. We believe that it is extremely important for children and young adults to be involved in activities with their peers and other youths of the same age groups. This is why we offer several youth and teen programs at the YMCA.

YMCA Leadership programs are nationally recognized as outstanding programs in developing responsible teens. Participants are directly involved in decision making, conflict resolution, life and socialization skills, and personal values clarification by learning the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.

The YMCA is committed to helping youth emerge from adolescence as happy, healthy and responsible adults. Through our youth and teen programs, the YMCA works to nurture and guide youth through this journey in safe, fun and learning environments with caring, supportive role models.
