Teens... Endless possibilities
Many distractions compete for the attention of our youth today. It’s important that the messages they hear come from positive sources. All young people, regardless of background, face choices that can positively or negatively influence their lives. The Y is committed to programs for older youth and teens that offer character development, citizenship, leadership and service programs.
