Stronger Together This September

September at the Y is all about connection and community! This month, we’re celebrating active aging — honoring the strength, wellness, and vitality of our older adults — and Welcoming Week, a time to embrace diversity and build bridges with neighbors from all backgrounds. Join us as we move, learn, and grow together!

Welcoming Week

September 12 - 21

Afterschool Care

The Y's Afterschool program focuses on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, offering students a variety of activities to explore their interests and talents. Activities include sports, team building, outdoor play, arts and crafts, and more.

Clinton City Schools: For the 2025-26 school year, the YMCA is operating a 21st Century Community Learning Center Afterschool Program at Sunset Elementary. This program is a free afterschool program for students in grades K-5 who attend Clinton City Schools and approved private schools. This program is currently at capacity, but families may still sign up and be added to the waitlist. Read More>>
