Leaders Club

What is a YMCA Leaders Club?

The Leaders Club is an organization made up of teens and run by teens, with high standards of excellence who want to make a difference in their community.

As a member of the YMCA Leaders Club, you will learn new skills, expand your leadership abilities, meet other like-minded teens in your community and have fun while growing both spiritually and personally.

The Leaders Club provides the opportunity for you to serve others in your community by volunteering an average of 1-2 hours per week. Volunteering at the Y is a fun learning experience and offers a great opportunity for you to learn new skills and abilities.

Leaders will also have the opportunity to attend multi-club events like Leaders Rallies and Leaders Training School where up to 400 teens gather together for a week of fun, friendship and learning. The social outings and group activities organized by your local Leaders Club also provides an opportunity for building relationships.

If you are in grades 6-12 and want to experience the rewards of serving others and making a difference in their lives, all while developing relationships and values to last a lifetime, the YMCA Leaders Club is the place for you!
