Program areas at Wendell P Clark Memorial YMCA
Youth development - our Ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That is why we help young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our Ymca programs, such as the y's before & after-school childcare, summer day camp, youth sports, & aquatic safety programs, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth.
Social responsibility - our Ymca believes in giving back and supporting our community by listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs. Ymca programs empower our community to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. We engage our community, Ymca members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.
Healthy living - the Ymca is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, people in our community are receiving the support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment.
