At the Summit Area YMCA, we’re all about helping teens thrive. Our Teen Programs aren’t just activities; they’re built on a clear purpose. We want to create a welcoming space where young people can grow, connect, and discover who they’re meant to be. We believe in nurturing every part of a young person’s development, providing a wide range of opportunities. Whether it’s building leadership skills, staying active, exploring creative talents, developing positive relationships, or simply finding a supportive community, our mission is to give teens the experiences and confidence they need to truly shine and build a strong foundation for their future!
Students will work with tutors two days a week in preparation for the August SAT test. The program will include ten sessions and two practice tests.
