Y LEARNING LABS FOR SUPER SCHOLARS

Led by committed, professional leaders, our Y Super Scholars Program teaches youth the foundational skills needed to develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-reliance while getting academic support to ensure future success.

At the YMCA, we continue to make safety a priority to protect our families and staff. YMCA fall programs have been adapted to ensure that the environment adheres to the strictest COVID-19 regulations from the CDC and local guidance. To meet the needs of our community while youth are distance learning, we will be offering academic support in a safe and socially supportive environment through stable learning groups consisting of no more than 12 youth. In collaboration with our school districts and other community partners, the YMCA has successfully provided full-day support for families in need since March. While we continually update our practices to fit the current health and safety regulations, the constant focus of our program continues to be fostering friendships, belonging and achievement. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our community.
