The YMCA provides Outside School Hours Care services to 60 school communities across South East Queensland. Our programs are built around belonging, choice, and fun, and we work in close partnership with families, schools and communities. Children in our care explore, create, play and learn in safe, inclusive and engaging environments. We live our values every day — we are caring, honest, respectful, responsible and fun!

At the Y, we are committed to empowering all children and young people to feel safe and be safe at the Y. As such, we ensure that all candidates are appropriately screened.
