Helping Kids Learn, Grow, and Thrive Beyond the School Day
The Sioux Falls Family YMCA is proud to provide high-quality out-of-school time programs for youth throughout our community.
Our team is committed to meeting the needs of the whole child by creating safe, engaging, and enriching environments where students can build relationships, explore new interests, and develop skills for lifelong success.
YMCA-led programs help students:
- Stay active and healthy
- Build confidence and character
- Develop positive friendships
- Explore STEM, arts, sports, and enrichment activities
- Receive academic support and homework assistance
- Connect with caring adult mentors
More than just a place to be after school, YMCA Out-of-School Time programs help young people discover who they are and what they can achieve.
Our Partnership with Community Learning Centers
Our Partnership with Community Learning CentersThe YMCA serves as a Community Learning Center provider in partnership with the Sioux Falls School District. Alongside other community organizations, we help deliver quality out-of-school time programming at elementary and middle school sites throughout the district.
Each Community Learning Center follows a unified operating model focused on:
- Youth development
- Family engagement
- Academic enrichment
- Healthy living
- Community connection
This collaborative approach allows students to access quality programming directly within their school communities while strengthening connections between schools, families, and community partners.
