Kitsap Teen Leadership Programs
Choose Your Program and Thrive At The Y
The Y invites teens in grades 8-12 to select from one of our varied programs that address the spectrum of social and emotional development needs. Each features a stratum of leadership, self-worth, and self-discovery approaches that meet teens where they are.
Kitsap teens can access these programs at the Haselwood Family Y!
