Youth Programs
Yesterday kids were doing the exact same thing they did the day before.
Today they're experiencing something for the first time and loving it!
Excelsior RecConnect offers you and your child exciting experiences learning new skills and making new friends with the support of caring adults. 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! Your support ensures that many children who otherwise would not be able to afford YMCA programs and services are included.
Mission YMCA. Fun. Safe. Affordable.
In the neighborhood!
