As an organization committed to positive youth development, our before and 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 improve overall health and wellness.
Activities include: homework help, team sports, nutrition and cooking classes, arts, academic enrichments, and more!

The site coordinator will work with the school district to determine eligibility and review capacity. You will be contacted once you have been accepted into the program. If you have questions regarding the ELO-Program, please contact the YMCA staff person below:
Sylvie Knepler, Site Coordinator
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.
Our program rates are based on 180 school days. Holidays and School In-Service days are not included. Rates are divided into 10 equal payments per school year, August through May.
If you wish to cancel or modify your registration, the parent/guardian must provide a 30-day written notice to cancel or modify for the following month. Please see below for details.
Monthly program fees are due on the 1st of the month. Automatic Bank Draft is available and is the preferred payment method, which can be set up in your online Community Portal account.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept any form of payment at the program sites. You may visit our branch to make a payment at the membership desk. We accept checks, credit cards, cash, money orders, or cashier’s checks at YMCA branches. Please check with your Site Coordinator if you wish to pay your tuition in person. Parents can register, manage, and schedule their own payments online and access their childcare tax statement. Please visit www.community.ymcasf.org to access online accounts.
Please note that the bank charges a $25 fee for all rejected auto-payments. The YMCA does not credit or adjust program fees for absences, teacher workdays, holidays, or vacations. We apply a $15 late fee to any account remaining unpaid after the 1st of the month. Additionally, we automatically drop participants from the program if we do not receive payment by the 10th. If your account becomes delinquent, we will refer it to a collection agency.
Fees are subject to change with a one-month written notice.
School-year/one-day camps are provided during school breaks and teacher workdays at an additional cost. Program registration is completed online through the Community Portal.
Parents or guardians must provide a 30-day written notice before the monthly draft date. Our staff requires this notice to proceed with your request, as we cannot cancel a month once the draft date has passed. 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. Reduced schedules take effect on the 1st of the following month, while increased schedules depend on space availability.
We accept 3rd-party billing, such as Children’s Council, Marin Childcare Council, or 4Cs. Before you can enroll your student, you must submit a Certificate/Contract of child services provided by your caseworker to [email protected]. Please note that you may be responsible for a portion of the monthly dues. Please contact your caseworker to let them know which program you’d like to register for.
Financial assistance is available to families who qualify, made possible by donors of the YMCA of Greater San Francisco. Please see below for more information.
The YMCA of Greater San Francisco welcomes everyone to our programs. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we offer financial assistance on a first-come, first-served basis. As an equal-opportunity provider, we strive to make our programs accessible to all families.

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Now, more than ever, our community needs your support. Since March 17, 2020, the Y of San Francisco has been on the ground offering critical resources to our community.
The Y serves those who struggle with food insecurity by providing more than 7,000 individuals and families each month with food pantries throughout San Francisco, San Mateo, and Marin counties through our partnership with the SF-Marin Food Bank.
The Y is embedded in the communities that have been among the hardest hit by unemployment and inequality. We address unemployment and underemployment through targeted workforce development strategies including skills building, job readiness training, and job placements.
The Y’s before and after school programs support a child’s academic success and promote healthy physical, emotional, and social development.
The Y of San Francisco believes that time spent outdoors helps us to be our healthiest, best selves. We continue to provide healthy outdoor opportunities for all members of our communities through: tennis, outdoor wellness windows, outdoor personal training, YRangers camp, outdoor wellness hikes, bike rides, runs, and group exercise programs.
We’re looking for over 100 enthusiastic volunteers to join us for a day full of fun and community spirit at the Presidio Trail Run in San Francisco, CA. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals, groups, and communities to come together and make a difference. Spread the word to your friends and family – let’s create a memorable experience for everyone involved!
