 A Path with a purpose
FOR CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE

At YMCA we believe a positive long-term relationship is key to truly helping prepare young people to thrive throughout their lives.

Through purposeful programmes and activities, we provide opportunities for children to grow in body, mind and spirit from infancy to adulthood.

These opportunities are geared towards developing each young persons character
while also providing wider real-life context to learnings at home and in the
classroom during key life stages.

A Path for ALL, with YOUR support

Path with a purpose group

Our programmes and activities are open to everyone. No matter a person’s circumstances, background, age, race, religion, economic status, income, abilities, etc.; everyone is welcome.

By providing enriching opportunities to help all all young people grow with a purpose, which in turn strengthens our communities, we are providing tangible opportunities for the wider community to partner with us to enable access for all.

 

How might you partner with us to help ensure every young person in our community has opportunities for them to develop as future leaders?
