Our gigs (programs/activities) are provided through a partnership with many community members and businesses. Some gigs occur on-site at Y-GIG, while others occur within the community. We offer transportation to students from the Foundation YMCA building to their gigs and back. Our program runs from 3:30-6:30. We provide snacks and drinks as the students arrive, and they can work on homework until they're dismissed to their gigs. Programming runs from 4:30-5:30 (off-site)/5:45 (on-site). Students picked up at their feeder schools get on their buses to head to the schools, and then we begin the pick-up line. Parent pick-up begins at 6:00, and parents are expected to have their child(ren) picked up by 6:30 p.m. In addition, your children attending one of the five public middle schools will have access to other benefits by enrolling and registering for our program.
