Partners With Youth

Each year, the Y addresses ever changing community needs; thus raising charitable dollars to support youth & teen programs and scholarships through our annual support campaign Partners With Youth.

We invite you to join us in our vital mission of empowering youth and strengthening our community. Your involvement can take so many forms, such as making a donation, fundraising, volunteering, and much more. Your support makes it possible for us to create spaces where every individual feels they belong, where growth happens, and connections are made. 

We need your partnership and support as we work to ensure that every young person has the opportunity to develop their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body. 

GOALS FOR 2025

Remove barriers to participation through direct scholarships to all youth programs, and FREE access to our YMCA Teen Center for every middle school student in this valley. Now open in East Wenatchee too! 

Develop the next generation through critical partnerships with school districts, law enforcement, Café, Akin, CASA, Women’s Resource Center, Youth United, and more. Together, we can give kids strong mentors, a safe place, fun activities, and opportunities that allow them to both contribute and feel a sense of support and belonging. 

Grow young leaders through the Leader Development Program (LDP) and Cabin Leader Development Program (CLDP) at Lake Wenatchee YMCA Camp and the Y’s Junior Leaders Club.

Provide subsidies and scholarships to youth in need for programs including: Lake Wenatchee YMCA Summer Camp, Free Teen Center Memberships for every Middle School student in the valley, Swim Lessons, Ment2B (mentoring services), Teen Outreach programs, Childcare subsidies, Youth Sports, and Youth Fitness.

100% of each contribution is used for youth scholarships and youth program subsidies including the Y’s teen outreach efforts.
