The youth of Pickens County could greatly benefit from a positive role model in their life. Seeing this need, the YMCA partnered with Mentor Upstate and the School District of Pickens County to implement a top notch mentor program the students in our community. The mission of Y Mentor Pickens County is to partner businesses, churches and corganizations with elementary, middle and high schools in the Pickens County area to provide a framework of supporthelp students achieve their potential and discover their strengths.

We are excited about this new program and would love for you to be a part of it! We are calling on individuals throughthe community to step up and help impact a child or teen’s life. We believe positive life change happens through oneone relationships and mentoring is the way to do it! Can you sacrifice just 30 minutes once a week during the school y

to transform the life of a child or teen? Yes, you can!

Please do not sit back and think that someone else will mentor, that you would not be good at this, or that you are

needed. We need you… our KIDS NEED YOU!

Both of my granddaughters had anopportunity to attend summer camp at

the Y in Pickens; the experience broughtthem closer together. To me it meant, new

adventures, being introduced to theoutdoors, sports and team building. Na'Ja

loves devotion as well as experiencingwhat nature and the outdoors has tooffer. Na’Ja’s willingness to learn and

excitement about attending the camp &after school programs - just the way she

lights up - that makes me happy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BRING?Children who are not potty-trained need to wear a swim diaper.Long hair needs to be tied-back to help them swim without thedistraction of hair in the face. Although not required, wesuggest that girls wear a one piece suit so that they do nothave to adjust it while swimming.

CAN I WATCH MY CHILD’S LESSON? Yes! We require that parents stay during lessons but ask thatparents stay within the seating areas so that the children arenot distracted.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING BAD WEATHER?The decision to cancel classes due to inclement weather willbe made as early as possible. We will notify you of anycancellations as soon as we can.

All sessions have 2 inclement weather make up dates set in caseclasses are cancelled. However, the YMCA can only guarantee 6classes per session. Inclement weather make-up days aretypically on Fridays, same time.

WHAT IF MY CHILD CANNOT PARTICIPATE?Once a session has begun, if the child is pulled out of the clby the parents/guardians, the YMCA will only issue a credit.refunds will be issued.

WHAT IF WE MISS A CLASS?Refunds and/or make-up classes will not be offered for misclasses.

WHAT IF MY CHILD IS AFRAID OF THE WATER? If your child is fearful of water, our instructors will be limitein their ability to help during group lessons. Most fears comfrom a lack of exposure to water, resulting in uncertainty ofthe water. In order for children to learn to swim, they mustwilling to attempt the skills that are being taught.

We recommend helping your child get adjusted to water byplaying in the bathtub. Water on and around a child’s face be an overwhelming experience the first time it happens. Hthem prepare before they arrive at lessons. Also considerprivate swim lessons for one on one attention.

Because of you, youth experienceachievement, relationships and belonging. Alina, a single mother, left an abusive relationship to find hope

for both herself and her children at the YMCA. "My childrenare much happier at camp. They love learning about what Christcan do for them.” Because of the Y, Alina's children were able toturn their pain into happiness and start their journey to healing.

Because of you, youth find confidence and joy

Gary Mohr, Principal at McKissick Elementary School said, “I’ve hadconversations with several parents that said their children have shownmore confidence since beginning the lessons… I’d like to believe thatby building the students’ confidence in one area, swimming, that theirconfidence in other areas will grow.”

Because of you, youth achieve theirpotential and discover their strengths.

Superintendent Dr. Danny Merck states, "Many of our studentsare identified as at-risk and would benefit from a positive one-on-one relationship with an adult."
