Youth Programs

Building confidence, character, and healthy habits in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment.

Growing Stronger Together

At the Staunton-Augusta Family YMCA, youth development is at the heart of everything we do.

We create safe spaces where kids feel encouraged, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential — while having fun along the way.
