Team sports at the Y build character and self-esteem. Participants cultivate values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Kids will not only learn the fundamentals and how to work together on a team, but also who they are and what they can achieve.
STEM/STEAM programs are an opportunity for youth to develop strategies, skills, tools and techniques in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.
The Valley YMCA received a very generous grant from Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to offer swim lessons to our Valley community students. Our goal is to help approximately 50 children over the course of 6 months. (December 2022 to June 2023). Swim lessons will be hosted at the Stratford YMCA.
Children must be referred to us by either school personnel or other agencies. Our goal is to offer free swim lessons to children who may not have the means to enroll in swim lessons, or perhaps have never been encouraged to learn how to swim. All swimming abilities are eligible, so whether we are working with a first-time swimmer, or building on skills already learned, all are welcome.

Y Leaders ClubCalling all Milford and Valley teenagers! Virtual Meetings on Wednesdays at 6:150pm on Zoom.
Leaders Club provides high school students with extensive leadership training, offering opportunities for service to the YMCA and the community. Leaders Club also serves as a recruiting program for future Y professionals! We are here to develop leaders, fostering with them a culture of service in addition to knowledge and training that will help them better serve others and shape a healthy and productive life for themselves. Leaders Club meets once a week virtually, until the time we can meet in person. Leaders Club provides a safe, genuine place for high schoolers and helps direct their energy to positive outcomes.
If you are interested in this great program please contact Ryan LeWorthy at the Valley YMCA at rleworthy@cccymca.org or Nicole Servas, at the Woodruff Family YMCA at nservas@cccymca.org so we can send you the log on details for the Virtual Meetings.
