“A good leader inspires others with confidence in him; a great leader inspires them with confidence in themselves.”

Come check out the Benjamin Harrison YMCA’s teen leaders club! Leaders is a Nationwide YMCA program for teens ages 13 – 18 that teaches leadership skills through community service, volunteerism and personal growth.

The Teen Advisory Group meets twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday with the intention to provide a platform for teens to advocate for issues they care about and also represent the broader teen community. The goal is to determine program interest that will increase engagement among the teens in the center as well as identify areas of needed resources for their development. Teen Advisors will be granted the opportunity to assume roles and responsibilities that will promote the development of critical skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork and problem solving. Teen Advisors will also learn the importance of contributing to their communities. This will encourage them to be active, engaged citizens.

Meet in the lobby of the Bernjamin Harrison YMCA

Teen Night is a recurring event that happens on the 3rd Saturday of every month.

During this time, the facility is open to teen participants, ages 12-18, with the intention to provide YMCA teens a safe 3rd space, increasing teens’ sense of belonging in the Lawrence community. Teens have the options to participate in open gym basketball & enjoy workout sessions for the first hour of the event. For the second hour, teens engage into games and activities that develop social-emotional skills in efforts to build positive self-image and healthy relationships with peers. To conclude the night, a meal is provided as teens maximize on a chance to fellowship freely among their peers until their rides arrive.

There will be 4 enrichment teen nights held on the 4th Saturday once a quarter. These enrichment opportunities include various options to explore potential interests, hobbies and careers for our teens. The first upcoming enrichment teen night will be: Culinary Arts 3/22
