We offer a variety of enrichment programs so youth can explore and experience different interests in an array of fun environments.  Y programs engage young children in activities that build artistic and academic strengths, develop problem-solving and decision-making skills, and give youth a sense of achievement and self-esteem.

Classes are free for Y facility members unless otherwise noted.  Community members are welcome to participate in classes for a $5/class fee. Please register and pay any applicable materials fee at the Member Services Desk before proceeding to class.
