Confidence
Grows Here

From first steps to first friendships, we support young children through Infant & Toddler care, Early Learning Readiness programs, Preschool, and Head Start.

We partner with schools across LA to offer before and after school programs, giving kids a safe space to get homework help, make friends, and stay active.

Our youth advocacy, community service, and leadership programs help teens develop meaningful skills and relationships that will stick with them for life.

Whether it's childcare, dance class, or a weekend in the woods, we help families stay connected and have fun—together.

Teens learn how the government works by debating policies, drafting bills, and collaborating with peers from across the state.

From Summer Day Camps to life-changing mountain treks, our camps help kids and teens unplug, explore the outdoors, and build lifelong memories.

Physical Learning Activities for Youth (PLAY) brings high-quality physical education to elementary schools across LA—helping kids stay active, build confidence, and develop healthy habits for life.

Our Get Summer program gives teens a free Y membership and the freedom to move, connect, and explore all summer long—with fitness classes, field trips, job training, and more.

Every kid gets a shot—YMCA Youth Sports builds confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love of the game through fun, inclusive play for all ages and skill levels.
