Homeschool Programs

The YMCA Youth Homeschool Program offers homeschool families meaningful opportunities to learn, grow, and connect throughout the school year. Designed for students ages 6–17, our weekly programs combine hands-on learning, creative expression, physical activity, life skills, and opportunities to build lasting friendships in a welcoming, supportive environment. Whether exploring art and STEM, developing confidence through recreation, participating in community field trips, or connecting through faith-based discussions, students are encouraged to discover new interests, strengthen their character, and thrive alongside their peers. Join us for a year of learning, creativity, fitness, faith, friendship, and community.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Camp Fitch YMCA Polar Bear Plunge

Cost should never be the reason a child cannot attend Camp Fitch YMCA. To turn that mission into reality, Camp Fitch has hosted their annual Polar Bear Plunge for the last 15 years! Staff, alumni, campers, and anyone else who wants to join the cause jump into the icy waters of Lake Erie with the same purpose: to give the life-changing opportunity of camp to kids who would otherwise be unable to afford. All are welcome to join the fun (without any pressure to jump in Lake Erie)! We will have food, games, and raffles for everyone to participate in.

Davis Family YMCA Golf Outing

For 13 years we have hosted the annual golf outing, raising funds to ensure that YMCA programs and membership opportunities are accessible for all, regardless of financial means. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or trying it for the first time, this event is a hole-in-one for fun, fellowship, and community impact! Swing by for a day of golf, great company, and the chance to support the charitable work of the YMCA of Youngstown.

The event will take place on September 25, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM at the Maronite Center. Please wear your semi-formal evening attire that reflects the elegance of the occasion and the spirit of connection we nurture at the Y.
