RISE is a program targeted to 9th & 10th grade students in Washington County. Together with the Washington County Commissioners, the Y is able to offer 100 FREE memberships to students.
Local data shows the 9th & 10th grade students are the most at risk for anxiety, depression and suicide. We know that mental, physical and emotional health is deeply intertwined. So we are encouraging students to exercise, volunteer in their community, educate themselves on positive stress coping mechanisms and more through the RISE program. We hope that by offering memberships and getting our youth involved in the community, we can instill Responsibility, Independence, and Service for Empowerment in each of them.
If you would like to nominate a student for the RISE program or have questions, contact Gavan Doane at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Fundamental Soccer
Watch your child build skills beyond the field with the Y's Co-ed, 3-8 year old soccer. The Y gives everyone the opportunity to participate in physical activity regardless of their ability to play or pay. In doing so, we encourage teamwork, the value of participation, skill building, positive self-image, and a sense of sportsmanship. Our Fundamental Soccer Program helps youth learn the basics behind the game of soccer and how to play as a team. These skills are crucial to not only sports, but they are essential life skills.
