Mt . Madonna YMCA Learning Labs = Success !
To address the danger of youth falling behind academically and socially , The Y launched YMCA Learning Labs to support distance learning , physical activity , and social engagement .
For Jose Perez , it was the first time experiencing virtual classes . His working mom struggled to find a consistent place for Jose to study while schools were closed . Once enrolled at the Y , Jose caught up fast , navigating learning apps in his Chromebook and logging into class consistently . “ I like coming to the Y because I have quiet space instead of going to different places while my mom goes to work .” Jose says , “ I made new friends and we get to have breakfast and lunch . I finished all my assignments today !” The Y offers a supportive community to thousands of families surviving the pandemic .
