The Community Youth Center offers roughly 150 year-round
class times to youth in 10 different programs. Classes are categorized
based on ages, skills, and programs. Classes continue year round,
rather than being broken into sessions. Occasionally a program
may rearrange one, two, or even all classes to allow overall growth
and change for a program. Since the populations for classes can
change based on experience and age, there are needs for new schedules
at times. However for the most part, classes remain set with
times for significant periods.
The CYC can often be thought of as a “mall.” Many
members take advantage of the CYC model and participate in multiple
programs. For example, on Monday a member can complete homework
immediately after school from 3 to 4 p.m. Then take
a Taekwondo class from 4:00 to 4:45 p.m., and follow up with
time in the weight room from 5 to 6 p.m. On Tuesday that
same member may take three entirely different classes, or perhaps spend
more time on their academics. Schedules are flexible for children,
and variety helps prevent staleness or burnout with a single program. Youth
should be encouraged to participate in multiple activities to diversely
develop their motor skills. Participating in multiple enriching
activities at a young age will set foundations for healthy lifestyles
going forward.
As a member of CYC, a student does not have to pay for each class
they wish to take. For certain advanced competitive programs,
there are increased training dues added to the monthly fees. These
costs are still a fraction of most private costs, and also can be waived
for those needing financial assistance. Cost should never prevent
a child in need from participating in CYC programs.
