Children learning and creating together at the YMCA

Grow Together

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.
