The YMCA of Greater Rochester is proud to offer programming for all of our members. This includes our teens! Check out some of what your teen can do at the YMCA.
Teen Leaders
Leaders Clubs connect young people ages 12-18 years with adult advisors to develop their leadership potential while fostering a culture of service, belonging, growth mindset, and self-advocacy. With the help of role models and mentors, these teens develop the skills they need to lead positive change in their communities.
The Teen Leaders program consists of weekly meetings at various locations, regular service learning opportunities, and overnight trips to allow teen leaders to connect with their peers from the greater Northeast Region of the United States. All meetings take place during the school year.
