YWCA Corpus Christi
About this Organization
When the YWTeen Program began in 1946, the girls served were high school age. Today's challenges are so intense that the program now serves 5th and 6th-grade girls, ages 10-12, to reach them before they make life-altering decisions. We find, however, that girls seem "softer," calmer, and more conscientious than in recent years. YWTeens encourages girls to think beyond their immediate environs.
The YWTeen Program serves 5th and 6th grade girls in area schools each week during school semesters
• Groups of 14-20 girls participate in the character-building activities
• Based on the nationally-recognized, research-based Girls Circle curriculum
• Structure, steps, and practices increase positive connections with parents, siblings, peers, teachers, and friends while having fun
• Promotes girls' healthy relationships with adults, peers, and community
The YWCA Fitness Connection Program serves seniors aged 55+. Water and Land classes are designed to lessen the effects of aging. Participants are able to come to the YWCA and interact with their friends while working out, taking classes, and becoming physically and mentally stronger.
