Summer may be coming to a close, but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop! In our Afterschool Programs, our goals are simple: Provide a safe, inclusive space in which all kids feel welcome and like they belong here. Keep learning fun! Our games, activities, and daily routines are all designed to support the school day in the most fun way possible. To instill the YMCA core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect & Responsibility in all that we do. As parents, you've entrusted the Y with your most precious thing. We don't take that lightly. We are grateful that you have partnered with the Y and we are looking forward to getting to your child and you over the course of the school year! Buckle up, it's going to be a fun ride! - YMCA of Northern Utah

Happy September and welcome to a brand-new school year with our YMCA Afterschool Programs! The start of fall always brings fresh energy, new friendships, and plenty of opportunities to grow — and we’re so excited to have your child join us on this journey. This year is especially exciting as we have opened two new afterschool sites in the Salt Lake region. We’re thrilled to expand our reach and welcome even more families into our YMCA community. Our team is ready to dive into a season filled with learning, creativity, and fun. From homework support and hands-on projects to games that build teamwork and activities that spark curiosity, we’re here to make afterschool a place your child looks forward to every day. Thank you for choosing the Y as your partner this school year. We can’t wait to share an amazing fall together! Rhonda Clark Regional Director
