| THE SCHOOL BUS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER! | | |
What are your children doing after school? In the United States, only 11% -- 6.5 million -- of youth participate in grades K-12 participate in afterschool programs. More than 14 million young people are responsible for taking care of themselves after school.
Quality afterschool programs serve working parents and give kids important opportunities to engage with other youth in an enriching, safe environment, provide academic support and homework help, offer new experiences and activities, and give young people the benefit of positive adult role models invested in their success.

| BRIGHT BEGINNINGS CREATE BRIGHT FACES | | |
We at the Y strongly believe that children who have the necessities they need to succeed can focus on learning rather than worrying about having shoes to wear on the playground or crayons to color their assignments.
The Bright Beginnings program pairs eligible children with a volunteer to shop for outfits, shoes, socks, underwear, and a warm sweater or jacket. They also share a meal and, if time permits, read a story, play a game, or color together. Each child also receives a backpack full of school supplies.
There is no cost to the families of participating children. We rely on the generosity of individuals, organizations, and corporations. $175 supports one child.
You can help! Donate -- any amount makes a difference -- or volunteer to be a shopping buddy. It takes less than three hours of your time to put a bright smile on a child's face and confidence in his step. Shopping this year will be at the Marquis Center JCPenney on August 23rd. |
| FALL PROGRAMS | | |
Swimming, soccer, theater, basketball, voice, dance -- we have so many programs and activities for your family that we can't list them all here. Registration for most fall programs began August 11 for members, and space may be limited, so plan your fall activities now!
