Club Mid

In Club MID, teens will engage on a journey to discover new things about themselves, their peers and their world, while learning specific skills they can put to use in the coming years.  Teens are given the freedom to grow, develop and explore at their own pace with guidance and supervision.  Teens incorporate service learning, leadership, weekly excursions, and of course, fun!

Leadership Unlimited

Leadership Unlimited is for High Schoolers who want to develop their leadership skills, while having fun with their peers.  Most of the learning comes through interaction with other teens, by participating in a wide variety of activities geared toward the four major program areas: Social, Service, Personal Growth, Leadership.

Hiroshima-Honolulu Exchange Program - High School

In the spirit of international cooperation, the YMCA of Honolulu and its international sister, the Hiroshima YMCA participate in an annual international exchange.  The program seeks to build and grow bonds between the youth of our YMCAs.  Every other year, the YMCA of Honolulu hosts a delegation from the Hiroshima YMCA, and then the YMCA of Honolulu sends a delegation up to Hiroshima, Japan.

Youth Legislature Program

This week long program is designed to strengthen and improve teens' understanding of the legislative process and parliamentary procedures. Also incorporated into this program are month long fundamental trainings that help build the confidence in each individual. It is a unique opportunity to meet new people and express their views on social issues.
