YMCA Teen Outreach Programs

At the YMCA, our Teen Outreach Programs are designed to support, empower, and engage youth as they navigate adolescence and prepare for adulthood. Through leadership development, academic support, career readiness, and community service opportunities, we provide teens with the tools they need to thrive. Our programs create safe, welcoming spaces where young people can build confidence, form positive relationships, and make a lasting impact in their communities.

Community Partners & Teen Programs

We’re grateful to collaborate with a local teen-focused community organization that brings unique opportunities and resources to the youth we serve. Their programs focus on creative expression, personal development, and community involvement—offering teens experiences that extend beyond traditional settings. By hosting events, workshops, and service projects, they create dynamic spaces where young people can connect with peers, discover new passions, and take active roles in shaping their future.

  • Triple Point NCW provides a safe place where youth can make positive connections, learn about community resources, receive the support they need, as well as participate in regular support group meetings with other LGBTQ+ youth and group leaders.

    Triple Point NCW support group meets every Friday from 4:30PM-6:00PM in person at the Teen Center.

  • Youth United is a unique, locally sponsored program that encourages and rewards students grades 9-12 for volunteering within their community. Over the course of the program year, students who volunteer a total of 60 hours or more are eligible to receive a varsity letter in community service.

    Meetings are held every 3rd Thursday of the month in the YMCA Teen Center.
