GREATER KINGSPORT FAMILY YOUNG

Youth development: our y is committed to nuturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why we help young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our y programs such as camp ironwood, hype camp, s.o.a.r., adventure kids, mini explorers camp, pre-school play date, afterschool, childwatch, and y on wheels offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. Expenses include sudsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for 61% of the young people we engage.
