BOY
Brave | Optimistic | Youthful
BOY is a brand NEW 14-week pre-teen program geared for boys in 5th-8th grade! This program allows middle school-aged boys to build life skills and discuss topics not typically taught in school. The goal is for the participants to learn healthy life skills, build self-esteem, create lasting friendships, and feel better prepared to tackle life challenges!
Participants of the BOY program will get the opportunity to learn communication skills, time management, problem-solving, and more. A passionate BOY group mentor will lead the group, and occasionally, community experts will join and teach the boys about the specific weekly topic. For example, during the Introduction to Trades week, experts in plumbing, electrical, and construction will be educating the boys in introductory information about these trades! Register for BOY today! Discover new talents, enhance existing abilities, and unlock your potential!
Registration for the 2024 – 2025 BOY Program opens on August 5. Spots are limited at each location. BOY runs cost FREE for all Y members and non-members!
