Marin YMCA Afterschool Program
Keeping youth active and engaged during out-of-school time.

Our YMCA afterschool program fosters each child’s cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development through opportunities and experiences that focus on achievement, relationships, and belonging.
As an organization committed to positive youth development, our afterschool programs support your child’s academic success and promote healthy physical, emotional, and social development.
The program’s curriculum is designed to expose youth to a wide variety of activities, improve critical thinking skills, develop leadership, build character and confidence, and to improve overall health and wellness.
Activities include: homework help, play, nutrition and cooking classes, arts, academic enrichments, and more!

At Marin YMCA’s afterschool programs, we are excited to partner with you and your student during the out-of-school time.
Our programs operate Monday through Friday during the school year and are closed on major holidays. During the school-year holidays, the YMCA of Greater San Francisco offers school-year/one-day camps as well as summer camps.

YMCA staff will release children only to an approved parent or guardian who arrives for pickup. Any other individual picking up your child must appear on your authorized pick-up list.
You and any additional authorized adult picking up your student must present a photo ID. Parents/Guardians must sign their child out daily. Staff will not release any child into the custody of an individual not approved by the registering parent or guardian.
We take your child(ren)’s safety very seriously and want to provide a safe environment for all. Please be sure to list everyone authorized to pick up your child(ren) on the release form during your registration process, including yourself.
In the event that authorized individuals cannot pick up the child, the parent must call the Site Coordinator to advise the site of who will pick up the child(ren).
The YMCA charges a $5 late fee per minute if you do not pick up your student by closing time. Financial assistance and third-party agencies do not cover this fee. After 30 minutes, we will contact the individuals on your emergency contact list. If we cannot reach anyone, we must notify the local police and CPS. Furthermore, the YMCA reserves the right to terminate care if you pick up your child late more than five times.
Parents or guardians must provide a 30-day written notice. To process this change, please fill out a Child Care Change form. You can obtain this form from your site coordinator or from the parent table at your location.
YMCA of Greater San Francisco Staff are certified in CPR and First Aid. We conduct background checks and recruit passionate youth development leaders who seek to make a positive, lasting impression on youth.
