Teens

Helping young people realize their potential!

The Family YMCA of Prince George helps young people build self-esteem, strengthen positive values and realize their full potential. We build programs that bring out youth creativity, help develop friendships, improve public speaking, serve the community and much more - all with the goal of making youth feel good!

Our YMCA connects with over 2,000 youth every year, with a wide range of relevant programs and services.

Some of our programs for Teens include:

• Developmental programs including yoga, meditation, self-defense, safety and independence.
• Drop-in programs, including gymnasium, as well as skating programs in winter sessions.
• REC Room – a youth driven space with social, recreational, sports and educational activities.
• Youth Around Prince (YAP) – A drop-in centre with a range of alternative activities for youth at risk including a girls’ empowerment group and a healthy options food program.
• Youth Leader Corps – A program that provides youth with opportunities to take part in a collective work group and practice cooperative management in order to learn leadership and gain confidence.
