Leaders Club (Jr. and Sr. High)
Members are actively involved in the YMCA, the
community, and the world. We come up with great
activities (some involve human pyramids and
shaving cream fights), travel to different
YMCAs, help out the community (great for
fulfilling volunteer time for school),
fundraisers for great trips (Washington DC!), and just enjoy being teens.
Great for everyone - we build strong leaders.
