The Y nurtures the potential of every child and teen by supporting their unique youth development journey through holistic programming. From cradle to career, the Y provides all youth with the tools and resources they need to succeed in life.
Afterschool
As the leader in youth development, we focus on the whole child and understand the importance of providing our participants with a balance of academically rich activities as well as an enhanced focus on overall physical well-being. We partner with industry experts, including your district, to design experiences that help your child learn, grow and thrive.
Teen Leaders Club
YMCA Teen Leaders Club is a leadership and service oriented development program for teens from September through May to help discover their potential and grow into leaders for our community. In this program, teens will meet biweekly to plan service programs, complete leadership development trainings, learn from leaders in our community, and build bonds and friendships with their peers. In addition to these meetings, there will be a social and/or service outing each month for our teens to grow together and support our local YMCA and community.
Homeschool PE
Are you the parent of a homeschooler and looking for physical activities for your child? Our Corriher and West Cabarrus branches offer a PE class for homeschoolers similar to that of traditional school. Kids will experience age-appropriate activities including gym and field games, relays, strength conditioning and group exercise classes.
Tae Kwon Do
In this 12-week session, our instructors teach skills to help participants succeed in all areas of life. Tae Kwon Do promotes hard work, discipline, honor, integrity, and respect for themselves and others.
Harrisburg Dance Classes
Our dance classes are designed to enhance fine and gross motor skills, as well as cultivate imagination, creativity and social development in a caring environment. Students will grow and develop as they learn the fundamental vocabulary and skills associated with dance.
