James A. Henry YMCA has forged an alliance with Chattanooga Housing Authority (CHA), the City of Chattanooga's Parks and Recreational Department, and Baylor School to establish an after school program in the heart of the College Hill Courts housing development. Located in the Sheila Jennings Center, the program offers youth ages 5-12 years old a chance to sharpen their academic skills, involve themselves in exciting physical fitness components, and receive the chance and opportunity to strengthen personal character. The primary drive of the program is to build a youth's life on the foundation of good self-esteem and a strong sense of self-worth.
