FIND MY GENIUS SUMMER PROGRAM:

To guarantee all children in our community realize their full potential, the Southeast Ventura County YMCA is committed to reducing summer learning loss through a free five-week summer program for low- and moderate income students who are not reading at grade level. Our program provides academic instruction, healthy meals, physical exercise and enrichment opportunities for these students. When every student returns from summer break ready to start the school year, all of our children achieve more.

Third-grade reading skills predict high school graduation. Students who read proficiently by the third grade are four times more likely to graduate than those who do not.

SAFETY AROUND WATER:

The Y is committed to making drowning prevention a priority for all youth in our community through Safety Around Water; ensuring all children can safely enjoy the health and recreational benefits of swimming.

YOUTH GOVERNMENT:

Youth & Government teaches high school youth the values of democracy, providing them with hands-on opportunities to experience government and become civically-engaged, responsible adults.

SOUTHEAST VENTURA COUNTY YMCA MISSION:

The Southeast Ventura County YMCA builds relationships, impacts lives and strengthens our community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
