" Learning how to hula hoop, learning a new song, learning how the government works and making our own "government", our ASDP is dedicated to equipping well rounded youth!" - Tena Williams, Youth and Family Director
After School Discovery Program
In YMCA After School care, kids participate in physical, learning and imaginative activities that encourage them to explore who they are and what they can achieve. Special monthly activities vary at different sites but may include tennis, Zumba, Yoga, arts & crafts, guest speakers, community service projects, daily devotions, story time at the library and more! One of the goals of the after-school program is character development. The YMCA develops character by teaching and demonstrating values. We use positive adult role models to teach the four basic values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
Other goals for our after school programs are:
- To support and strengthen the family unit focusing on: increasing their ability to play and work together; helping families share their values with each other; increase their sense of community with other families; help families improve their economic stability.
- To help children develop to their fullest potential focusing on: self-awareness, confidence and feelings of self worth; interpersonal relationships; values development; physical skills; health and nutrition.
- To deliver the care in a positive YMCA environment focusing on: having all children be safe and happy in the program; broadening community, national, and world understanding of children; conducting care in accordance with YMCA operating philosophy; conducting care in accordance with YMCA operating philosophy.
