About
YMCA Afterschool offers afternoons that include arts and crafts, group games, homework time, snack, and wellness components both indoors and outdoors. The program uses a combination of individual and group activities, and children are encouraged to give their input on what activities they would like to do. Each week, staff schedule activities that keep minds and muscles moving after the final school bell.
• Ages: 5–13 years old
• Schedule: Weekly from August 13, 2025 to May 20, 2026, from school dismissal until 5:30 pm daily
YMCA Afterschool supports students and families each afternoon by offering developmentally appropriate activities that work to enhance confidence, enrich social and physical development, and encourage self-expression. Half Days and Teacher Work Days are included in the weekly registration fee for current Afterschool participants, with advance registration required and locations that may vary. Afterschool typically goes on a waitlist quickly, and participants may experience temporary registration holds and waitlists. Five children are needed to register per location to ensure transportation is available, and parents or guardians are welcome to transport their child to a YMCA site to participate if their school is not listed.
The leadership team for YMCA Afterschool includes Program Lead Crystal Baugham; Program Registrars Ashli Denton, Kelly Davis, and Jada Cron; Stowe Afterschool Director Danielle Bradley; and Warlick Youth Development Program Director Francine Molina. The Gaston County Family YMCA states that its mission is to advance the YMCA mission and further its cause by building relationships and by developing and delivering quality programs to the community. The Gaston County Family YMCA is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit social services organization dedicated to Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility.
