Helping Youth & Teens Reach Their Full Potential
Young people are the future, and like the rest of us, they need ways to support their minds, bodies, and spirits. At the Y, there are opportunities for youth and teens to try new things and explore their interests in a safe space.
Adventure Team-Building
Our Adventure Education programs foster personal growth, increased self-esteem, and social-emotional learning for teens. They'll have opportunities to step out of their comfort zone and into a place of growth in a purposeful way.
Changemaker Academy
The Changemaker Academy is a paid internship and job training program for MetroWest area high school students ages 14-19.
CIT and LIT Program
Youth and teens can develop their team-building and leadership skills as a Leader-in-Training (LIT) or Counselor-in-Training (CIT). They will have opportunities to work with their peers, younger children, and the community.
Aquatic Leaders Club
