YMCA Youth Action Evenings: Your Time to Shine

Get ready for fun, friendship, and action-packed evenings with YMCA Youth Action! This is your space to be yourself, get active, unleash your creativity, and connect with both old and new friends. Best of all? It’s totally FREE and designed just for youth aged 10 to 14.

Whether you’re looking to level up your skills, play games, or chill out in a safe, welcoming community, we’ve got you covered. Our YMCA team is here to bring the energy and help you feel right at home while you stay active and meet some awesome role models.

Fall 2026 Locations Coming Soon!

Things to Remember When You Arrive

We want you to be able to jump right into Youth Action, so please keep the following points in mind when you arrive at the program site.

Youth Action programs at EI McCulley can welcome up to 30 participants. Arrive early to make the most of each session!

Participants are asked to bring a refillable water bottle. Washrooms are available for participants to use one at a time. You’re going to be active so make sure that you have comfortable clothing and the proper footwear. Participants who attend the same school as a Youth Action program site will not be able to move through the school in order to obtain items (such as indoor footwear) from their locker, so please ensure that you come to the program with what you need.

All Youth Action participants must complete a registration form on their first visit to a program site. This information helps keep our participants safe, and it will be used to maintain accurate attendance records.

We ask that the information provided on the registration form be accurate and up-to-date. In an effort to keep all participants safe, the information we receive will be verified for accuracy. Participants who knowingly provide inaccurate or false information may be asked to leave the program as a result.

Encouraging Responsible Behaviour

YMCA Youth Action evening programs have been designed to promote fun, physical activity, creativity, and safety.

We have planned engaging activities to meet the interests of those attending, and all participants will be asked to conduct themselves in a manner that is appropriate for a YMCA program and is in line with the YMCA values of:

Caring
Respect
Inclusiveness
Health
Honesty
Responsibility

The YMCA reserves the right to deny entry or remove someone from a program as a result of their behaviour.

A Note to Parents

Empowering young people to choose to participate, and remain engaged, in Youth Action is a critical program element. All Youth Action programs are drop-in style, which means that youth (ages 10-14 years) can sign themselves in and out of the program. Please be advised that if any participant chooses to leave during the duration of the program, they will not be permitted back into the program that evening.
