YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth

At the Y, young people find more than activities—they find belonging, connection, and community.

For youth looking to express themselves, music lessons and studio time offer creative outlets where they’re supported and encouraged. Swim teams and lessons build both skill and confidence, while also fostering teamwork and camaraderie.

Art and nature enrichment programs help kids discover the world, and themselves, in ways that are both fun and meaningful. Afterschool programs offer a safe, welcoming space where kids can finish homework, share laughs, and build friendships that extend beyond the school day.

Our summer and holiday camps bring children together through adventure, hands-on learning, and shared experiences that form deep, lasting bonds. Teens engage in leadership programs, civics programs and financial literacy workshops that not only teach practical skills but also connect them with mentors and peers who care.

Through these shared journeys, they learn to care for themselves and others, developing empathy and confidence along the way. Parent Night Out gives kids a fun evening with friends and gives parents peace of mind. And family-focused events throughout the year help people of all ages meet others and feel part of something bigger.

All of this is open to the entire community, not just YMCA members. Because every child deserves a place to connect, grow, and belong, and at the Y, that’s exactly what they find.
