Southeast Ventura County YMCA

Organized through the Simi Valley Family YMCA and the Yarrow Family YMCA branches, YMCA Adventure Guides/Y-Trailblazers programs are for parents and their children, ages 5–11.

The program offers teen participants the opportunity to learn how government works, collaborate with others, make new friends and build skills such as critical thinking, persuasive public speaking, writing and research.

Adventure Guides & Trailblazers is a family-centered YMCA program for parents and their children (ages 5-11) in the Conejo and Simi valleys.

Child care is available on school days, pupil-free days and minimum days.

The goal is to fill 230 backpacks with donated items for young scholars participating in the Y's "Find My Genius" summer learning program. The program serves low- and moderate-income students who are not reading at grade level.

For the past three years, the Southeast Ventura County YMCA and its branches have partnered with the Simi Valley Soroptimist Club to hold a Prom Closet at both YMCA sites.

All swimming activities are supervised by Red Cross-certified YMCA lifeguards.

These items will be available at the YMCA's third annual Prom Closet, where high school students can shop for free prom attire.

Attended by over 150 supporters, the event signaled the start of a transformation slated for completion in 2027.

The YMCA also served 1,265 young scholars in summer and afterschool programs at no cost, achieving an average growth of 1.5 months in literacy and math.
