Supporting Teen Growth
Teens are navigating a time of discovery, confidence-building, and growing independence. The YMCA of Frederick County provides safe, welcoming spaces where young people connect with peers, build skills, and feel supported by caring adult mentors. From leadership programs and recreation to arts, wellness, and community involvement, we help teens explore who they are and who they want to become. Every opportunity is designed to promote belonging, responsibility, and personal growth.
Opportunities That Inspire
Teens at the Y gain access to meaningful experiences that strengthen their spirit, mind, and body. Our programs give young people the freedom to try new things, practice healthy habits, and build the confidence they need to thrive. Supportive staff and a community-focused environment ensure every teen feels welcome.
Leadership and Community Engagement
Programs encourage teens to step into leadership roles, learn responsibility, and contribute to their community. Through volunteer opportunities, mentorship experiences, and team activities, youth gain valuable life skills. These programs help teens understand their strengths while developing empathy and respect for others.
