For nearly a century, the YMCA has led the way as the nations largest and most respected provider of activities for youth. What makes YMCA so special? For starters, honesty, respect, responsibility, and caring are the cornerstones of every YMCA program.
In addition, the Y adds a unique component to help children develop positive identities, values, and social skills. That component is known as Developmental Assets. These are 40 essential character building blocks that young people need to grow up to be healthy, competent, caring and responsible adults.
