PARENT’S MEETING:
Tuesday (June 5th) at 6:30 PM at the YMCA.
The purpose of this meeting is to help parents better understand our program, our goals, and our values. Although this meeting is not mandatory, it will be used as a tool to work through parental conflicts and program challenges. We invite all of you to attend.
COACHES MEETING & TRAINING:
Tuesday (June 5th) at 5:30 PM at the YMCA.
Immediately following the Parent Orientation, and to ensure a quality experience for participants and volunteers alike, the Helena Family YMCA will be offering a Coaches Meeting/Training. This is a MANDATORY training for all first-time coaches. Coaches will receive their team roster and be able to sign up for a practice time at this meeting.
The YMCA also offers a $10.00 Credit for those parents volunteering to coach. All Fees include a YMCA T-shirt and participant awards. Financial Assistance is available for those in need. Monies for our Financial Assistance programs are raised through the YMCA’s annual Friends of Youth Support Campaign.
