North Georgia Community YMCA Afterschool Programs
We are a proud provider of onsite afterschool programs, serving six locations within Catoosa and Walker Counties. At each program location, students follow a curriculum developed by the YMCA to include daily activities in academics, physical fitness, and healthy eating. Our Quality-Rated programs are led by qualified directors age 21 and older and counselors, and volunteers age 18 and older. Staff are trained according to licensing guidelines and specifically to meet the individual needs of children in the program.
- Cost: $25 registration fee per child, $10 per week per child weekly fee. Our fees are greatly reduced due to the STABLE Grant (Short Term Assistance Benefit for Licensed Entities). The program will remain well below market cost as long as grants funds are available. Space is limited and based on a first come, first serve basis.
