YMCA Leaders Club is a youth leadership development program designed to empower teens through service, mentorship, and personal growth. Members participate in volunteer work, community engagement, leadership training, and team-building activities — all while forming lifelong friendships and developing strong character. The club fosters responsibility, confidence, and a commitment to making a positive impact both within the YMCA and the broader community. Whether you're passionate about helping others, building leadership skills, or just looking to grow as a person, Leaders Club offers a fun, supportive, and meaningful way to get involved.
Leaders Club begins October 19, 2026! Teens are invited to join this exciting opportunity to build leadership skills, connect with others, serve their community, and grow in confidence and responsibility. Registration remains open through November 30, so participants can still join after the program begins. Early registration is encouraged so teens can get the most out of the full Leaders Club experience.
