Leaders' Club is a year-long leadership development program for teens ages 13–18. It offers extensive leadership training and volunteer opportunities that support YMCA programs and services in the community. Through service-based learning, teens gain practical experience, build confidence, and develop a strong sense of social responsibility. Guided by dedicated advisors, participants explore the Y’s broader mission and are inspired to become future leaders within the YMCA and beyond.

Building Bright Futures

At Brace Preschool Academy at the Hemby Program Center, we believe childhood is a magical time and that early learning lays the foundation for lifelong success. Our nurturing preschool builds on the natural curiosity and energy young children bring each day, focusing on fostering the learning of the whole child - socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically.
