Organization Description

Mission: The YMCA of San Diego County is dedicated to improving the quality of human life and to helping all people realize their fullest potential through the development of the spirit, mind and body. Description: The YMCA of San Diego County was established in 1928 and is dedicated to improving the quality of human life and helping all people realize their fullest potential through the development of the spirit, mind and body. We have since become the second largest Y in the nation, touching the lives of nearly 1 out of every 8 community members and 1 out of every 5 children. Our programs and services are diverse but center on three primary focus areas: • Youth Development: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen • Healthy Living: Improving the nation's health and well-being • Social Responsibility: Giving back and providing support to our neighbors The YMCA works to ensure that all individuals have the support they need to be healthy, confident, connected and secure. This begins with our youngest community members as we work with parents, caregivers and child care providers to ensure children, ages 0-5, are growing up in healthy, supportive and safe environments. YMCA Childcare Resource Service (CRS), a department of our Y providing services countywide, opened its doors in 1980 to foster the development of early care and education professionals, educate parents, and help families pay for child care. Since its inception, YMCA CRS has served more than 1 million children and parents throughout San Diego County.

Program Information

YMCA Expanded Learning Programs, a division of the YMCA of San Diego County, provides state and federally funded before and after school programs. We partner with local school districts, families, and communities to offer students safe and nurturing expanded learning programs that prepare them for college, career, and life. This is accomplished by creating a safe and supportive environment, ensuring that programs are student-focused and engaging, as well as building relationships with our parents and community partners.

Our expanded learning programs are designed collaboratively with district partners to provide students with fun, educational and engaging environments during the hours most parents or guardians are working. Activities focus on academics, enrichment, building social skills, and getting children physically active.

Funded by the California Department of Education, schools with Expanded Learning Programs have 81% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price meals and serve lower income households.
