In YMCA Afterschool Programs, we’re dedicated to providing a safe, enriching environment where children can thrive outside of school hours. Our Afterschool Programs combine dedicated homework time, enrichment activities, and playtime to create the perfect environment for kids to learn, grow, and thrive. Most importantly, our programs foster academic success, physical well-being, and social development in a fun and supportive setting!
As an Afterschool Program Volunteer, you’ll assist YMCA staff in providing homework help, playing games, organizing fun activities, and ensuring all program participants are learning, growing, and thriving!
