Youth Development

Youth Development: Nurturing the potential of every child & teen

The Y believes that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That’s why, through the Y,thousands of Manatee’s youth today are engaged in programs that encourage Y core-values – character, honesty, respect and responsibility. In our membership and program centers, award-winning early learning & education, school age centers, summer camp, youth sports, swimming, youth fitness, leadership, mentoring and volunteerism, are all Y programs that are helping Manatee’s kids and teens reach their full potential.
