The health and safety of our program participants and staff are paramount. In accordance with local, state and national directives the YMCA of Austin has implemented a series of safety guidelines for Afterschool:

• Small ratios are maintained per CDC recommendations. Small ratios not exceeding 1:15 at this time due to the pandemic. 
• Adherence to social distancing requirement of six (6) feet
• Facilities deep cleaned daily with hourly wipe downs
• Children and staff required to wear masks

YMCA Afterschool infuses all curriculum with TEKS concepts and objectives. Research shows that children in afterschool programs attend school more, see behavior improvements, increase their likelihood to advance to the next grade level and increases the likelihood of graduating.

Activities in YMCA Afterschool include:

• Book Nook / Reading Time
• Physical Activity
• Arts & Crafts
• STEM projects and games
• Social & Emotional learning activities
• Homework time
• Leadership activities
• and much more!

YMCA of Austin program and activities are designed to benefit persons of all backgrounds and means. Fees are based on the cost of program delivery. While participants are asked to pay in relation to their means, while financial assistance dollars are available, the YMCA will assist any individual or family that wants to participate in Afterschool Care programs.

To apply for financial assistance, answer the questions in the afterschool application at EZChildTrack. We will follow up after your application is submitted.
