YMCA Learning Camps

YMCA Learning Camps

In partnership with UCSF Family Services, YMCA has launched Learning Camps specifically for UCSF families to help with distance learning this fall.

The morning program will include support for distance learning assigned by the school district and supplemental academic supports to help students who are under-performing in math and literacy. The afternoon will incorporate physical and enrichment activities such as STEAM.

During 2021, learning camps will be held in monthly sessions and enrollment must be a minimum of 3 consecutive weeks.

Financial Assistance available from the YMCA:
The YMCA offers varying levels of financial assistance for families who are at 80% of median income or below per 2020 San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Inclusionary Income Limits (AMI Chart).
• This chart outlines median income levels for varying household sizes in the San Francisco area
• AMI chart available online at https://sfmohcd.org/ami-levels-homeownership.
• For example, 80% of median income is $92,250 for a 3-person household and $102,500 for a 4-person household.

The YMCA also tries to take into consideration any extenuating circumstances when processing financial assistance applications as they understand that income and household size may not show the full picture of a family’s situation.
