At-Risk Youth

The Need:   Students from historically disadvantaged communities have little more than a fifty-fifty chance of finishing high school with a diploma.

The Benefit:   At the Y, we value teenagers as resources, not problems.  We offer high quality youth development programs which can significantly influence the decisions young people make and the paths they choose.

You can help...

  • Provide the opportunity for one teen to develop leadership, teamwork, social responsibility, and employment skills by joining the YMCA's Teen Leaders Club - $105
  • Endow a Teen Director position to design and implement mentoring, leadership and community service programs - $600,000
  • Build a teen center giving teenagers designated space within YMCAs for social, academic and personal development - $2 million
