Parent of a teen? Check your local YMCA chapter as many are offering free summer YMCA membership for teens. I did some quick searching and found the “Get Summer” initiative from California to Minnesota to North Carolina to Boston. The specific age bands and timeframes vary by location.
The YMCA can be a safe space for your teen to socialize as well as have access to gyms, pickleball/basketball courts, heated pools, fitness centers, and in-person and virtual live-stream and on-demand exercise classes. Some even offer career-oriented skills training. Your teen may even become interested in a leadership position and/or community service opportunities.
