Y Guides

Y Guides is a program that strengthens the relationship between father and child. The YMCA provides spaces and places for this relationship to grow through the foundations of love, trust and communication. Spend time with other dads and kids in activities that are fun, build community and deepen your relationship with your child. 

The YMCA of the Triangle Y Guides program focuses on strengthening the father-child relationship through activities that allow fathers to spend quality one-on-one time with their children. It’s through these shared experiences that fathers and their children grow closer and form memories that will last a lifetime.

Y Guides is open to all boys and girls in grades 1 to 3.
