🧡 United in kindness. Stronger together.

Our YMCA Before and After School Care students at Wolf Springs Elementary celebrated Unity Day by wearing orange and spreading a message of kindness, inclusion and belonging!

Students also had a special visit from a local police officer, who talked with them about bullying and the importance of treating others with respect.

At the Y, we're helping kids build friendships, stand up for one another and create a community where everyone feels welcome. 💙

💙 Cost Should Never Be the Reason a Kid Misses Out.

At the Y, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and belong.

That’s why we work with families to make programs like Y Club and Summer Day Camp more accessible through childcare subsidies, financial assistance and scholarships.

Because when a family needs support, we want them to know: there are options, and the Y is here to help.

Every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and included. 💙

Yesterday, our YMCA Youth Development staff kicked off the school year with an inspiring keynote from Jen Greenstreet, President and filmmaker of Just Like You Films, Inc.

Through real stories told by children with autism, Down syndrome, dyslexia, cleft palate, food allergies, and other differences, our teams were reminded that empathy is one of the most powerful tools we can bring into our before- and after-school programs.

Thanks to a new partnership and grant funding, these empathy-building resources will soon be in the hands of teachers and childcare providers across Kansas City—helping create more inclusive spaces where every child can thrive.

Because every kid deserves to be seen. And every kid is, at heart, just like you. 💙

🧠 It Starts With Science. It Grows Into STEAM.

What happens when kids build a digestive system at summer camp? They explore all of STEAM. 🧪

In our latest episode of The Movement, we take you inside the Missouri AfterSchool Network STEM Mobile Lab at YMCA Summer Day Camp:
From augmented reality and engineering challenges to measuring, designing, and problem-solving, one hands-on project brings Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math to life.

This is Youth Development at the Y, where learning is active, creative, and fun.

Y Camp: More Than Summer Fun. 💙

This summer, more than 2,500 children experienced YMCA camp, but the impact goes far beyond the season.

Our staff is trained to do more than lead activities. They create safe, supportive spaces where kids build confidence, strengthen friendships, develop social-emotional skills, and learn how to connect with others.

These aren't just summer memories. They're skills that help children thrive long after camp ends.

🎙️ Hear more from our Senior Vice President of Youth Development in the latest episode of The Movement.

🚀 Straws, Tape, and Kansas City's Next Engineers

At the YMCA, Youth Development is about helping every child discover who they are and what they're capable of. Through year-round STEAM experiences in summer camp, Y Club, and after-school programs, kids aren't just learning science and engineering—they're building confidence, creativity, resilience, and the skills to solve real-world problems.

In our newest episode of The Movement, Straws, Tape, and Kansas City's Next Engineers, we explore why STEAM is so much more than preparing kids for future careers. It's about giving young people the opportunity to collaborate, think critically, learn from failure, and grow into tomorrow's leaders.

🎉 This Is What Summer at the Y Looks Like.

A few weeks ago, our President & CEO, Mark Hulet, traded the office for the foam party at Sunset Ridge Summer Camp!

Nothing says summer at the Y quite like camp, laughter, and a mountain of foam. From kids diving into the bubbles to smiles all around, it was another unforgettable day of making summer memories.

Here's to another amazing camp tradition! 💙

Curiosity Is in Full Swing at Cedar Creek Camp!🌟

Campers kicked off the week with a visit from FOX4 News Kansas City Meteorologist Michelle Bogowith, who taught them all about weather... and the hottest topic of the day: tornadoes! 🌪️ Safe to say, our campers had lots of great questions.

Then, the excitement continued when Officer Weathers stopped by with a real police car. 🚔 Campers got an up-close look inside and learned about the tools officers use every day!

And the adventure isn't over yet... Firefighters will be visiting later this week! 🚒

At the Y, every day is a chance to explore, discover, and spark a lifelong love of learning.
