Afterschool Programs
The YMCA Before & Afterschool Program balances the needs of youth, families and local schools in a fully licensed, supportive and nurturing environment. We believe that children should have meaningful experiences and activities that complement and expand their school experience. We also understand the role that YMCA staff play in exposing youth to positive role models who build their self-esteem and sense of community.

Childcare Impact Report
The Channel Islands YMCA is proud to share our 2023-2024 Childcare Impact Report. Our staff, volunteers, donors, and school district partners’ continuous effort and commitment to the Y’s success in these unique times have made it possible for us to do what we do best; provide quality programs and services to our community. Our Y has not been here for 137 years by chance. It is due to the remarkable work of our staff and volunteers who keep a pulse on community needs. And we know that affordable, quality, and safe childcare is a top need for many families.
