Watsonville Family YMCA

Watsonville Family YMCA The Y is for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility People need to feel valued and connected to do their best.

At the Y we believe that everyone, regardless of age, income or background deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. While basic needs of food, shelter and security continue to be a priority during this tough economy, social, emotional and spiritual needs are equally important for people to achieve their potential. Children need support and guidance. Families need opportunities to engage

with others, spend time together and build stronger relationships. With increased crime and gang activity, local leaders point to the need for constructive prevention activities to keep children and teens “off the streets”, developing assets for success in later life. Families need safe, affordable and supportive programs to improve their health and well-being as our community grapples with increased obesity and related chronic disease such as diabetes. The Y, a leading primary prevention organization in the heart of Watsonville, is committed to helping all people be their best.

Supervision is one of the most important ways to keep children safe around water. In California, drowning is the leading cause of injury-related death for children under age five. Close, attentive supervision helps reduce that risk and keeps young swimmers safer. Staying close and keeping your attention on the water helps prevent accidents before they happen. At the YMCA, water safety starts here.
