YMCA free teen memberships to start June 15

The YMCA of Delaware will begin its Take On Summer youth program starting Tuesday, June 15, offering young people ages 12-17 free summer memberships to access the Y’s fitness facilities and swimming pools.

“The last year has been a challenging one for all of us, especially our children and teens. It is more important than ever that we keep our young people engaged in positive experiences, and we can do that in a healthy and safe environment at the Y,” said Deborah Bagatta-Bowles, YMCA of Delaware CEO. “Providing opportunities for youth is at the heart of our mission. Through programs for teens like Take On Summer, we are helping to cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement.”

All YMCA of Delaware locations also are offering a variety of virtual and in-person programs for teens including workforce development, leaders in training, youth in government, Black achievers, teen nights and more.
