YMCA Project Cornerstone

04/23/2026

Healthy Kids Day (April 25) is a great reminder that “health” is more than physical activity—it’s also about connection, belonging, and well-being.

At Project Cornerstone, we focus on Developmental Assets: the internal strengths youth build, along with the everyday relationships and experiences that help them thrive. This includes caring adults, safe spaces, and opportunities to be active and engaged in their communities.

Take a look at some of the amazing activities happening across YMCA of Silicon Valley branches this weekend in support of Healthy Kids Day. There are so many fun ways for kids and families to move, play, and connect!

💜 JUST FIVE DAYS LEFT TILL HEALTHY KIDS DAY 2026! 💜

Join the YMCA of Silicon Valley for Healthy Kids Day, a day packed with family fun, active play, and hands-on learning. It’s a great way to help kids grow their confidence and build healthy habits for summer.
