Leadership Club (14-17 years)
Leadership Club is one of the YMCA’s most intensive and comprehensive teen programs, providing club members with opportunities for leadership training, personal growth, service to others, and social development. Young people meet on a weekly basis in small groups, working closely with their peers and a counselor on skill- and character-building activities, as well as on planning and organizing club projects.
All programs provide a safe haven for young people to become confident and competent adults with a sense of belonging in their community, and promote and enhance the personal growth and social skills of young people in order to develop leaders who will be a positive force in their communities. By connecting with adult advisors, teens have role models and mentors who can have a positive impact on their lives. Please look for posters and signs to come with days and times!

The Teen Fit program helps students gain an interest in exercise
and nutrition by providing a fun teen-oriented program at

ingredients towards a long and healthy lifestyle for our young
people. This is a voluntary after school program that includes
a variety of fitness activities including: walking, weight lifting,
aerobic classes, importance of proper warm-up and cool
down, intro to cardio equipment, record keeping for workout,
and cardio room etiquette. In addition, homework help is
provided, along with emotional support, interaction with
positive role models, and a support network for growth and
development. The mission of this program is to empower,
encourage and strengthen “at risk” teens in mind, body and
spirit to make smart choices that will lead them to make
positive and healthy decisions. This program is sponsored by
the Saratoga Youth Bureau.
