Since the 1940s, the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties has provided key teen programming focusing on leadership and advocacy. This year marks the second year in which the Y has expanded these offerings into Kitsap and the larger part of Pierce counties.  

Starting September 1, teens can register for Youth and Government, Pacific Region Conference, Youth Leadership Development Club, Kids Night Out Leadership, and more.  

Get connected and learn more about these opportunities by attending one of our Teen Leadership Kickoff Events across Pierce and Kitsap Counties. Teens in grades 8-12 and their parents/guardians are invited.
