West Suburban YMCA

At the Y, we recognize that successful youth development requires a holistic approach focused on achieving certain social-emotional, cognitive and physical milestones. Youth need positive adult and peer role models, and they need to feel physically and emotionally safe to thrive. We put caring people in children’s lives and nurture them along their journey to adulthood, so they can become active, thriving and contributing members of society. In order to ensure the safety of children in our care, our volunteers and youth aides are required to complete the following application and steps. Please hit apply below and follow instructions. Please review appropriate steps with Directors/Staff in WSY programming on your first day to ensure understanding of our child protection policies.
