The program offers teen youth participants from around the state the opportunity to collaborate with others and build skills such as critical thinking, persuasive public speaking, writing and research. Youth & Government is rooted in the YMCA’s core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility and is a platform for social responsibility, servant leadership and personal development. Our goal is to nurture the next generation of civically engaged Californians, so that they recognize the importance of: Civic Knowledge: High School Delegates begin to understand the structure, function and procedures of California's Legislative and Judicial processes. Civic Awareness: High School Delegates learn to identify the major issues facing their communities. Civic Action: High School Delegates become equipped with the tools they’ll need to make change in their community and can identify the importance of mutual respect, personal responsibility and active listening in group settings. The 76th Model Legislature & Court will bring together more than 1300 youth participants representing over 50 delegations across California. Delegates will participate in weekly local delegation meetings. The program will include multiple conferences, culminating in a February conference in Sacramento where delegates put their training into action as they assume their given roles. Legislation is debated and court cases are decided, as teens apply skills they have gained in the program!

The Torrance-South Bay YMCA will be taking a group of youth, grades 3-12, for an incredible week in the mountains. Camping at the Y is all about learning skills, developing character and making friends. Our camps are places where kids become a community as they engage in social, physical and educational activities that teach how to be more independent and how to contribute to a group. Camping teaches self-reliance, a love for nature and the outdoors, and the development of attitudes and practices that build character and leadership. Online and in-person trainings are mandatory for volunteers. Gain valuable training and hands on experience working with kids in a beautiful outdoor environment. Earn a minimum 100 volunteer service hours while making a difference in the lives of children. “When you change the world of a child, you change the world.”

The YMCA Early Learning Readiness (ELR) program provides a stimulating environment to help children (0-5 years) develop the physical, verbal, and social skills which they'll need to be school-ready. During the program, caregivers learn how children develop and how to encourage skill building at home. Before early learners walk into a school classroom, their primary caregivers at home are their first teachers. Through this Caregiver & Child class, family will find a safe, fun place to play, explore, and learn through songs, stories, and family activities with their children. The YMCA is seeking program volunteers to assist with program set-up and program clean-up and to also assist the ELR Instructor with tasks during the program session, such as assisting with prepping supplies and materials, helping families check-in and greeting families when they arrive.
