Teens<br />
There are many distractions that<br />
compete for the attention of our youth<br />
today. It’s important that the messages<br />
they hear are coming from positive<br />
sources. All young people, regardless of<br />
economic, geographic, ethnic, gender or<br />
religious background, face choices that<br />
can positively or negatively influence<br />
their futures.<br />
Every day, the <strong>YMCA</strong> sees teens that are<br />
excited about learning leadership skills<br />
and participating in projects. The <strong>YMCA</strong><br />
wants teens and families to know there<br />
is a way for youth to reach new heights,<br />
and is committed to programs for older<br />
youth and teens that offer character<br />
development, citizenship, leadership<br />
and service programs in collaboration<br />
with local school districts and other<br />
community organizations.<br />

Leadership Programs:<br />
<strong>YMCA</strong> Youth and Government - This<br />
club will teach the teens about the<br />
democratic process: research and write<br />
bills, debate issues, vote on proposals<br />
and run for office. They will gain an<br />
understanding of how our government<br />
works, how laws are made and how they<br />
can make a difference.<br />
Junior Achievers - This group encourages<br />
teens to excel in school, prepare<br />
for college and view their future as<br />
filled with endless possibilities and<br />
opportunities.<br />
Junior Leaders - This teaches practical<br />
leadership and teamwork skills that will<br />
enable the students to become effective<br />
leaders. Students are responsible for<br />
creating and managing special projects<br />
throughout the year for the <strong>YMCA</strong> and<br />
their community.<br />
Through these clubs, the teens will<br />
grow into responsible adults who are<br />
confident in their ability to make a<br />
difference.<br />
Programs offered depend entirely on youth<br />
interest and participation.<br />
