ExCEL Afterschool Program
Yesterday kids in Visitacion Valley walked home alone afterschool.
Today they're learning together, making new friends, and inspiring each other.
At the Mission YMCA Visitacion Valley Afterschool Program, kids know that there is a safe place for them to be, work on homework, and build relationships with peers and adults. With the help of caring adults, our afterschool program provides a sanctuary for achievement and understanding. At the Mission YMCA, we strive to make sure that every child’s day brings about bigger and brighter achievements.
Mission YMCA. Fun. Safe. Affordable.
In the neighborhood!
Yesterday kids and parents were struggling to do homework in the Excelsior.
Today kids and parents are enjoying each other’s company homework free.
There is something for everyone at the Mission YMCA Monroe Afterschool Program including academic help, fun enrichment activities. and energy releasing recreation sports. 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.
