YMCA Outreach Service is dedicated to rehabilitation of young males between the ages of 13-19. We are focused on mentoring young boys in a non violence approach to dealing with gender issues. Our service titled MenTouring provides alternatives through lectures, activities, Yoga, swimming and personal testimonials of successful males who have survived the odds in society. The MenTouring programme delivers service to Kids In Need of Direction (KIND) and St Michaels Boys’ Home, Credo and other Secondary schools in the environs.

A strong component of MenTouring is creative expression. In order to afford this opportunity, the YMCA has integrated art classes within the sessions. The integration of Art was made possible by American Women’s Group.
The newest strand of MenTouring is the Shoot2Live a project. The project seeks to address the important and socially pertinent issue of male led gender based violence amongst young men in contemporary Port of Spain through the use of photography.

Your child can enjoy YMCA’s Day Camp
No matter what’s his or her interest!


We have three camps annually Easter, July- August and Christmas.
We offer everything from sports and swimming to dance, history through
drama, and of course craft.

YMCA Day Camp includes trips to outdoor activity centres or other places of interest, such as museums, theatres and science centres and heritage sites.

At camp, children find fun activities, friendships and adventure while learning new skills and building self-esteem while developing an appreciation for our cultural.

YMCA camps emphasize participation, fair play, team spirit and leadership skills. Children from all backgrounds and abilities participate in traditional sports, personal and team challenges and activities based on universal principles of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
