About Get Summer 

The LA Y “Get Summer” initiative is designed to keep teens active, engaged, and safe while school is out for summer. Ys across Los Angeles County offer free memberships to all teens ages 12-18. Individual branches will provide youth with academic support, college and employment readiness, volunteer opportunities, social gatherings, and exclusive programming with local partners.
