Do Good Things
Teens want to Do Good Things. We want to provide opportunities for them to Do Good Things for their communities, for their future and for their health. Because when teens do good, it's good for everyone.
Our teen programs are designed to develop healthy leaders and changemakers. We believe that teens are an asset to our communities and to our Y.
Teen Mental Health
We're committed to supporting Teen Mental Health. With funding provided by the state, North Carolina YMCAs are working to increase awareness about mental health resources available to teens and their families in 2024 and beyond. Visit the Teen Mental Health Resource Hub to learn more.
For Community
Teen voices matter. When teenagers are part of the conversation, they become more connected to their communities. The Y is committed to providing opportunities for teens to become confident and engaged global citizens.
For Future
YMCA programs inspire young people to reach their full potential by cultivating leadership skills, instilling character development, fostering teamwork and building skills needed for college/career success.
For Health
Good mental and physical health habits start early. The Y has programs that help teens build those good habits. Whether it's fitness, sports or connection to others, we invest in the well-being of teens across the Triangle.
