The YMCA has been providing Afterschool Care and Summer Day Camp for more than 50 years. With programmatic oversight now being managed through our new Extend-A-Care YMCA branch, the Y now offers Infant/Preschool Care and an added 20 years of providing innovative, high-quality programming for Austin-area families. 

Without a traditional facility, the Extend-A-Care Branch may be the Austin Y’s best kept secret.

But the work is some of the most important that we do.
