Fort Wayne Community Schools
At the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Our before and after school programs helps students cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and improved academic achievement.
In partnership with Fort Wayne Community Schools, the YMCA is proud to offer before and after school care for preschool through 5th grade at select locations.
