Advancing Generation Y

When you look into the eyes of a child, you see our nation's future. And when you see caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, that future looks bright and hopeful!

At the Lancaster Family YMCA, we strive to provide all local families with quality youth programs including tutoring and literacy, youth leadership, community service, fitness, drug and alcohol prevention, and more! In this safe and supervised setting, youth ages 5 to 12 have the opportunity to socialize and grow.

For more information on building strong kids, contact the Family Services Director at 717-393-YMCA, ext. 132 or tbrunke@lancasterymca.org.
