Santa Clarita Valley Family YMCA Adventure Guides & Trailblazers Final
Adventure Guides programs launch parents and their children on a journey of discovery, with the child as the explorer and the parent as the guide. Meeting in small groups once per month, and in a large group activity once per month, Adventure Guides encourages parents and children to build bonds with each other and with new friends they both meet. This is done through group activities such as games, crafts, songs, stories, skits, ceremonies, and outdoor pursuits such as camping, hiking and swimming. The one-on-one time in a fun, special environment builds important bonds through shared experiences. Enrollment is always available, and the program follows the school year. Join now for an experience that will build great memories with your children that neither of you will ever forget. This is the final version of the video, all the better for successful collaboration with an insightful client.
CRHnews - Chelmsford YMCA vision to raise the roof for community
Chelmsford YMCA is a busy, purposeful and fun place to be in the heart of the city, working towards a community characterised by inclusiveness, diversity and mutual respect.
Craig Gough, Youth Projects Manager, gives an overview of its current activities and shares the vision of a radicially re-designed new building at its current HQ in Victoria Road.
The Y offers programmes and services that value and respect people for who they are, seeking to build on their positive qualities and assets, giving equal opportunities and challenging each person in body, mind and spirit.
It's mission is a Christian one, affirming the unique value of everyone, and Christian hope sees promise in every individual for growth, change and new life.
This from the YMCA website:
As we build the internal community of the YMCA, so we also engage with the external community around us.
It is very important to us that we work meaningfully with other organisations and partners to achieve much more than we could alone.
We try to accommodate our community in our building where possible.
We also want to support our community through our work, and if you or your organisation would like to explore any aspect of working in partnership with the YMCA, we will be happy to talk this through with you.
Community building is about relationships, and the YMCA has been working relationally since 1844 - we are good at it!
We can deliver work for you, alongside you or supporting you, and we can offer you our years of experience if you simply want advice or guidance.
At Chelmsford YMCA we seek to build lives, hope and futures for children, young people and families with our childcare and youth services.
Our work includes a Nursery for babies and children aged 3 months - 5 years, Out of School Clubs, holiday programmes, youth groups, training, conference and meeting rooms, young carers, support for school pupils and their families, and behavioural and attendance support.
There is also a fantastic YMCA charity shop in Chelmsford which offers a wide variety of good quality previously-loved items at very reasonable prices - do pop in and have a look!
