About
YOUTH DEVELOPMENTThrough the Anaheim Family YMCAs Youth Development programs, youth and teens have safe spaces to explore their unique talents and interests, take a greater interest in learning, and make smarter life choices. All YMCA youth programs promote: Honesty, Caring, Respect and Responsibility. These building blocks of life are modeled by Y staff and volunteers, and instilled in youth every day. AFTERSCHOOL CARE: Started in 1999, the Anaheim Achieves afterschool program is offered at 47 schools throughout Anaheim (36 elementary, six junior high and five high schools) in partnership with the Anaheim Elementary, Savanna, Magnolia and Anaheim Union High School districts, City of Anaheim, California Department of Education and Orange County Department of Education. The program has received state and national recognition for its commitment to community collaboration and dedication to educational excellence. Anaheim Achieves provides a safe, positive and enriching place for more than 12,000 students achieve in school and in life. Charcter Builders is offered at Cerritos Elementary in response to the growing need for an afterschool program at a non-ASES funded site.YOUTH SPORTS: Through YMCA Youth Sports programs, more than 2,900 youth learn about teamwork, becoming and staying active, and developing healthy habits they will carry with them throughout their lives. Youth sports programs and classes are held at the city community centers and gyms: Downtown Anaheim Community Center, Downtown Anaheim Youth Center, West Anaheim Youth Center, and Stanton Central Park. Youth Basketball introduces boys and girls ages 3-17 to basic basketball skills, rules, methods of playing, teamwork and character development. Bitty Sports caters specifically to 3-6 year olds through three different sports: Bitty Basketball, Bitty Soccer and Bitty T-ball. In Youth Gymnastics, children enjoy increased physical activity, stretching, discipline, and an incredible opportunity for parent and child bonding. Gymnastics classes include Mini Stars (ages 13), Little Stars (ages 3-4), Beginning Stars (ages 5-8), Intermediate Stars (ages 8-12), Youth Tumbling, and Intramural Sports. PERFORMING ARTS: Our Performing Arts programs for youth are open and welcoming to all and encourage, nurture and provide an outlet for creativity while strengthening the body, mind and spirit of all who are involved. These programs include: Bitty Ballet Classes (ages 3-6), Beginning Ballet and Tap (ages 5up), Intermediate Ballet Classes (ages 6up), Advanced Ballet Classes (ages 7-up), Youth Hip Hop, Polynesian Dance, Contemporary Dance, Parent & Child Dance, Jazz Dance, and Musical Theater Class. SUMMER RESIDENT CAMPS: The Anaheim Family YMCA's first camp started in 1924, and continues today, impacting over 300 youth and teens each year. The program is run by trained volunteers and staff who have dedicated their lives to helping young people grow physically, mentally and spiritually. YMCA Summer Camps offer campers opportunities to build and strengthen positive character values and appreciate the differences in others. There are two weeklong resident camps: Camp Fox (ages 13-18, located on Catalina Island) and Camp Miehana (ages 7-12, located at Camp Arbolado in the San Bernardino Mountains). DAY CAMPS: YMCA Day Camps provide opportunities for children when they are not in school during Winter, Summer and Spring breaks. Day Camps continue fun learning experiences until school starts again, helping to close the achievement gap that can result in youth falling back when they begin school again. YMCA Day Camps provide fun, safe, all-day learning environment. SWIM LESSONS: At the Y, swim lessons save and enrich lives. Youth learn not only how to have fun learning to swim, they gain lifelong confidence in and out of the water. Trained YMCA staff teach essential swimming and water safety skills to more than 4,700 youth ages infant-17 years in a fun and positive environment. Adult classes are also available at select locations. STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLGY, ENGINEERING, MATH): According to the U.S. Department of Education, all young people should be prepared to think deeply and to think well so that they have the chance to become the innovators, educators, researchers, and leaders who can solve the most pressing challenges facing our nation and our world, both today and tomorrow. But, right now, not enough of our youth have access to quality STEM learning opportunities and too few students see these subjects as possible careers. In response, the Y is creating opportunities for youth to explore STEM and develop decision-making, problem-solving and analytical skills by helping students learn to solve problems, spark curiosity and creativity, reshape failure, interest and prepare students for future STEM careers and reinvent the way students see and feel about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. TEEN LEADERSHIP: The Anaheim Family YMCA has two core programs that promote leadership among teens: Youth & Government is a year-long leadership program where students team up to write a bill, conduct research, lobby for votes, hold mock elections, and debate their bill on the Senate and Assembly floors at our State Capitol including using the state legislative and judicial chambers. The program builds values-based leadership and civic engagement for teens as they become active and responsible contributors to create meaningful change in their communities. The Youth Institute program is an innovative teen summer program that uses technology and service learning for promoting positive youth development, academic success and career readiness for high school students. The goals of the program are to increase academic, technology, social and life skills and to develop leadership and job training skills. Students participate in an intensive summer program. They then graduate from the summer program and attend the after school program during their school year where they have access to the latest technologies, academic assistance, emotional support, job internships, and community service opportunities. No technology skills are required to participate in Youth Institute.
