Your Impact
Why it matters
Supporting Afterschool Care
Every afternoon, when the school bell rings, working families need to know their children have a safe, supportive place to go. YMCA Afterschool programs provide dependable care, academic support, and meaningful connections during the hours that matter most.
Your gift helps ensure that cost is never a barrier to access for families in your community, because every child should have a safe place to go after school. Join us in making afterschool care possible for all.
Support your child’s afterschool program through these special events — our annual Art Show, and M&M Challenge! Find the link for your child’s school below:
