Programs and results
What we aim to solve
We are committed to building a stronger community through programs, resources, and advocacy that will strengthen the health and well-being of those who need it most. With a focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the Y serves Orange County, along with Riverside County, San Gabriel Valley, and Pomona Valley through 5 health and wellness locations (Laguna Niguel, Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, Fullerton, Huntington Beach), and two program centers (Rancho Mission Viejo, Yorba Linda). With an additional 83 afterschool programs, summer camps, sports and swim programs, Adventure Guides parent/child groups, and programs for youth and adults with special needs, the YMCA of Orange County is committed to serving our growing and diverse community.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Child & Youth Development
The YMCA before and after school care provides opportunities for children to learn, grow, and thrive as they make their way from K-8th grade. We provide daily physical and educational activities like sports & recreation, homework, and distance learning support to assist students in meeting their teacher-assigned requirements; arts, science, math, and technology that allow students to engage in programs often underfunded in public schools; all while socializing with friends in a safe and healthy environment. Also, with the changing landscape of education, we understand the need parents and students have for additional support. In our distance learning lab time, we offer educational support for children K – 8th grade. With Chrome books available (or a student may bring their own) our team of teachers will work with the children from one-hour to multiple hours to support learning, complete classwork and/or homework.
Wellness Programs
Wellness Programs for youth and adults designed to promote active, healthy lifestyles for people of all abilities and incomes.
Community Service Programs
Community Service Programs provide essential support for the most overlooked members of our community, delivering unique programs and services to youth and adults with developmental disabilities.
