The arts are an important part of developing imagination, critical thinking, communication, and social skills. There’s more to the YMCA than just sports! We believe everyone should have a safe place to develop artistic talents. We strive to provide a welcoming environment where members can feel comfortable expressing themselves. When you participate in the arts, you develop confidence, problem-solving, perseverance, focus, nonverbal communication, and collaboration skills. And learning new creative skills with other imaginative people means you are sure to make new friends.
