DEDICATED TO YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

Making a Lasting Impact One Life at a Time

Child Care
The YMCA provides child care services to more families than any other organization in Greater Cleveland, caring for over 1,100 children in more than 20 licensed child care centers. We offer full and part-time pre-school, before-and-after-school care and licensed child care summer camp. We provide children under age six with critical, quality early learning and school-age kids with safe, dependable places to grow before and after school. Thousands of working parents, and their employers, rely on both early care and before-and-after-school programs to support the Northeast Ohio workforce.

Teen Court Program
Over 150 youth participated in Teen Court during 2009-11. The program is designed to reduce the likelihood of youth becoming imprisoned or adjudicated and reduce recidivism
among fi rst time offenders.

Y-Achievers Program
Over 100 youth participated in Y-Achievers during 2009-1. 1 All of the senior participants graduated from high school, and 75 percent enrolled in college. The goal of the program is to provide youth with academic and social support and promote and address the need for academic rigor.
