About
Youth Development - Child Care, Enrichment Programs and Camp. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. In addition, we believe that kids need a safe, nurturing environment in which to learn, grow and develop social skills and our child care programs, which care for 800+ children ages six weeks to 12 years every day, provide just such an environment. Many of the children in our child care programs, particularly at The Learning Circle YMCA, which is a full-time child care center caring for children from six weeks to six years old, come from single-parent households, and many live at the poverty level. In 2017, the Y provided $233K in direct financial assistance, enabling parents to go to work secure that their child (infants, toddlers, pre-school and elementary age school children) were being nurtured, developed and well cared for. Dan, a seventh grader who has taken advantage of the Y's free 7th Grade Initiative membership program is learning how to create healthy exercise, eating and social habits. "I first got started at the Y because my friends and my older brother were doing it, so I wanted to try it out. The most beneficial aspect of being in the free 7th Grade Membership program is learning to use all the equipment and machines at the Y, so that as I get older I'll know how to get more fit. Also, I play a lot of sports and being at the Y helps with my endurance for basketball and increases my arm strength so that I can throw better in baseball. If I were not coming to the Y, I would probably be at home playing video games on the couch." Kevin, a Youth Basketball Coach, loves to volunteer his time at the Y especially since it is connected to his son and other children who he can help develop skills, positive thinking and attitudes. "Coaching basketball is a great way for me to spend time with my son while also volunteering my time. My dad coached me as a boy and now I get to coach my son and teach him good sportsmanship, teamwork and discipline. It is really rewarding to see the kids improve and their hard work pay off. The kids make friends and now I'm making friends and building my community through my kids! I love that the Y brings people together and strengthens family bonds. " The Summit Area YMCA's day camps are safe, exciting places for young people to explore the outdoors, build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills and make lasting friendships and memories. In 2017, we provided almost $15K in direct financial assistance to some of the 560 campers enrolled, to ensure they had the same experiences as other kids and that they too, benefited from the nurturing development that happens every day in Y camp. The Y provides hope to families and individuals who are struggling and in need of a helping hand. Sianeth, a single working mother who was also going to school full time explained: "I needed to find an affordable, quality childcare program for Gaven, my 2 year old. It was fantastic that The Learning Circle YMCA offered me generous financial assistance, which allowed me to leave Gaven in the hands of caring, attentive teachers who wanted only the best for him. After 6-7 months in the Toddler program, Gaven was diagnosed with kidney cancer which had metastasized to his lungs and I had to pull him from school. The teachers regularly sent me emails rooting for his speedy recovery and return. Today I am back at TLC YMCA and Gaven is getting stronger physically and emotionally every day. I have peace of mind because of the Y. It is truly a community that supports, loves and helps you when you need it."
