EMPOWERING an atmosphere where young adults can thrive

The Y is committed to ensuring that every youth has the opportunity to become a healthy, contributing member of society. The Y offers teens a safe environment where they can develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-reliance through the Y values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. 

We offer activities and programs for teens that provide them with academic assistance, life skills, healthy habits, positive social experiences, all while having fun.

  • Any teen that participates regularly in YMCA programs will receive a FREE Youth Membership!
     
  • Our programs are offered at low to no cost to provide low barrier access to Whatcom County teens.
