Dodge City Family Ymca

The focus of youth programming is to foster growth and development, learn sportsmanship and have fun, not only for children but also for the parents and families. More importantly, we stress it to our volunteers, coaches, and leaders. Our programs focus on four core values: respect, honesty, caring, and responsibility. Parents play an important role in policy and program decisions through involvement in evaluating sessions. They also serve on volunteer committees, clubs or advisory councils at the YMCA. It is our belief that youth develop so many lifetime skills playing in our programs. They build self-esteem, friendships and many more benefits. Our largest programs in youth development are after-school, youth sports and summer camp. Every one of our programs in youth development offers financial assistance to those who can't afford to play. We never deny the opportunity to participate.
