the Y Core values of caring, honesty, respect

The main goal of this program is to enhance family time, offer
programming to develop volunteer and leadership skills
at a young age, build a sense of self-esteem and worth and to provide a spirit of community among other families. Fathers and sons,
fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, or mothers and daughters will join a “circle” of other families, meet once monthly and
