Children are celebrated for their uniqueness and provided with multiple opportunities for growth and development through a variety of activities. Our goal is to expand our students’ learning by emphasizing the engineering design process which is a methodical approach to problem seeking and encourages children to start by asking a question, imagine the possibilities, plan a course of action, execute the plan and then brainstorm how to improve.

The following 9 exploratory components are integrated into the program throughout the school year: 21st Century Skills, the Arts, College and Career Readiness, Family and Parent Engagement, Global Learning and Inclusion, Health and Wellness, Academic Enrichment, Leadership Development and Service Learning. Homework assistance, snack and physical activity are provided daily.

We aim to create an inclusive environment at each of our sites that supports self-confidence, encourages creativity, emphasizes teamwork and develops future leaders. We serve school districts throughout El Paso County from Fountain to Monument.

YOUTH SPORTS

WHY CHOOSE Y SPORTS? Sports participation keeps children physically active and provides them with positive development opportunities.

At the Y, we promote the development of each athlete so they can reach their highest potential through skill development, teamwork and sportsmanship.

Honoring the Y’s four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, our volunteer coaches focus on developing character as much as building athletes.

That is why we do not conduct tryouts to select the best players, nor do we cut children from our programs.

We believe teamwork and cooperation are keys to success.

We play fair and respect teammates, opponents, coaches, officials and ourselves.

Striving to win is an essential part of all sports, but winning is only one of many goals at the Y. Smiling, laughing and good feelings are important.

Our focus on skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship and values is what sets Y Youth Sports apart.

OUR COACHES Our volunteer coaches bring The Y Way to Play to life. They are committed to promoting sportsmanship and to being encouraging and supportive while using positive feedback methods to create an environment where all players participate equally, learn, grow and have fun!

Join Our Team Our volunteer coaches provide leadership and instruction to their players, becoming role models for our young athletes. Sure, you’ll teach skills, rules and technique, but you’ll also work to create an atmosphere of respect, acceptance and caring for players, fellow coaches and parents.

Annual Support Campaign NO ONE IS EVER TURNED AWAY FROM THE YMCA. As an organization for all, the Y works tirelessly to help improve the health and well-being of our neighbors, regardless of their financial circumstances. Where others put up barriers, the Y opens doors and finds ways for the entire community to access life-changing programs and support.

This simply would not be possible without you. It is because of our generous donors and Y champions that we can be for all and meet the needs of our community.

IN 2018, THE YMCA GAVE AWAY $1.7 MILLION IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

EVIDENCED-BASED HEALTH PROGRAMS

CREATING CONNECTIVITY FOR YOUTH AND TEENS

Chronic diseases account for 7 in 10 deaths among Americans each year - the reason for the most deaths in the U.S. At the Y, we are committed to preventing and combating chronic disease. Because of supporters like you, our evidenced-based programs can help keep our neighbors out of the doctor’s office – regardless of their financial circumstances.

Through Y programs, seniors are learning to prevent falls through our Moving for Better Balance classes. Cancer survivors are regaining their strength and confidence through our LIVESTRONG® program. Individuals with Parkinson’s are breaking free from the disease and learning how to walk on their own again.

Your support is what ensures all our neighbors can be their healthiest selves, regardless of financial means.

El Paso County has one of the highest teen suicide rates in the nation. At the Y, we believe programs aimed at teens and children can play a critical role in helping to halt this shocking trend.

This year, we expanded our Middle School Initiative program to include 6th, 7th and 8th graders, providing not only a free Y membership but also a safe space to be after school every day, with a hot meal, trained staff, and people who genuinely care about their health and well-being.

Programs like the Middle School Initiative means that children are cared for after school and do not go home to an empty house, where they may get into trouble without supervision. It gives kids a chance to connect with friends they don’t see during the school day and encourages physical activity and the development of new hobbies.

DROWNING PREVENTION In the summer of 2018 alone, four children drowned or nearly drowned in pools right here in the Pikes Peak region.

These tragic events are a reminder to us all that swim lessons shouldn’t be a luxury – every child should know exactly what to do should they fall into a body of water.

No one knows this better than the Y. Not only did we invent swim lessons, but we also ensure that they are affordable and accessible to all children in our community. Because of our Safety Around Water program, 300 low-income children who had little to no experience in water now know exactly what to do should they accidentally become submerged. These lessons are offered free of charge thanks to of generous supporters like you who believe that even one drowning death is one too many.

Your support means that these programs, and so many more, are affordable and accessible for all members of our community.
