Do Great Things
Teens want to Do Great Things. The Y creates opportunities for them to strengthen their communities, build healthier futures and grow as leaders—because when teens thrive, everyone benefits.
Through programs focused on resilience, leadership, character and career readiness, the Y helps young people reach their full potential.
Teen Programs
From civic engagement, to leadership development, we offer a variety of programs designed to help develop skills that teens can use beyond school and in life.
Work at the Y
Teens ages 16 & up can also get real-world experience while earning a paycheck as a part-time YMCA staff member in roles like camp counselor, lifeguard and more.
