Free Saturday Family Programs

Yesterday weekends were boring.

Today children are using their imagination to create and share.

The EYC Free Saturday Program offers children the opportunity to create and express themselves in a classroom environment. Children are welcome to produce numerous pieces of artwork by using the various materials provided.  Children are encouraged to expand on their ideas and pursue them in their artwork.  At the Mission YMCA, we strive to make sure that every child’s day brings about bigger and brighter achievements –  but we can’t do it alone!

Yesterday youth were playing basketball video games at home on a Saturday.

Today they're honing their skills on a real basketball team.

The Excelsior Youth Center provides youth an opportunity to learn and play the game of basketball and to shoot for the stars!.  At the Mission YMCA, we strive to make sure that every child’s day brings about bigger and brighter achievements - but we can’t do it alone!  At the Mission YMCA, we strive to make sure that every child’s day brings about bigger and brighter achievements –  but we can’t do it alone!
