We’re proud to see our own Kayla Hendrickson, Director of School Age Child Care, featured in this important conversation for afterschool leaders across the country.

At the Y, we know afterschool programs are more than care—they’re spaces where young people build confidence, form meaningful connections, and reach their full potential. By coming together to share ideas and learn from one another, we continue strengthening the programs and communities we serve.

If you lead or support an afterschool program, this is a great opportunity to connect with peers who are committed to making a difference every day.

We hope you’ll join Kayla and this incredible group of leaders on June 17.

For a better us.®

Sunshine, fresh air, and space to grow ☀️🌱

At the Y, after-school hours are more than just time to finish homework—they’re moments to connect, explore, and belong. From climbing rope bridges to focused learning time, from meaningful conversations on the grass to the simple joy of flying kites, every experience helps young people build confidence and friendships.

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to play, learn, and thrive in a safe, supportive environment—and sometimes, that starts with a little sunshine and a lot of imagination.
