Binders & Backpacks, August is Back to School!

As summer winds down and backpacks come back out, the Y is here to help your family transition into the school year with ease and excitement. From afterschool care and youth programs to wellness routines for parents, we’re ready to support you every step of the way. Let’s make this school year the best one yet — together!

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>>

Lifting Our Community

One Volunteer at a Time

Do you love the Y? Has the Y made a positive impact on your life? Consider giving your time to volunteer for our Annual Campaign! We are looking for volunteers who enjoy connecting with others and can help educate our members and community about our efforts and need for support.

We want all to know that financial assistance is available at the Y to help those in need cover the cost of membership and programs. This assistance is made possible because of our Annual Giving Campaign.

Want to join our group of volunteers? Email Director of Development Shannon Berg at Shannon.Berg@ymcasenc.org.
