The YMCA is for Youth Development
We are building our future.
As a youth-oriented organization, we believe that all kids have amazing potential. The values and skills learned early are vital building blocks for life, and young people deserve an opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. From the youngest in our childcare programs to the teens in our leadership development initiatives, the Y gives kids and teens a safe place to belong, build confidence and learn positive behaviors grounded in our core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. The YMCA of Greater Cleveland proudly holds Praesidium Accreditation, ensuring the highest standards of child safety and protection in our child care programs.
