"The YMCA is a charity dedicated to the growth of all persons in spirit, mind and body, and to their sense of responsibility to each other and the global community."

YMCA Student Services

YMCA School Settlement Services

The YMCA has been working in partnership with schools in our community for more than 15 years. Our staff work on site at elementary, junior and senior high schools to provide practical assistance to newcomer youth and their families.

Some of the services we provide include:

  • Orientation to the School and Community
  • Home Liaison
  • Academic Support
  • Para-professional counseling
  • Referrals
  • Advocacy
  • School Staff Support

These partnerships have been effective in meeting the needs of newcomer youth by having personal input from all members of the school community – youth, parents, teachers, administrators.
