Fun and Friends in a Safe Environment

Open to high school students, the LATE NIGHT program is offered at the South YMCA. Funded through generous gifts to the Greater Wichita YMCA's Strong Community Campaign, LATE NIGHT is a Community Development initiative and a recognized adolescent program.

LATE NIGHT brings teens together after our branch closes to support universal needs for socializing, physical activity, interactions with diverse people and perspectives, and the opportunity to build positive, appropriate relationships with non-parent/guardian adults. The Greater Wichita YMCA meets those needs and offers a safe, supportive environment that keeps kids coming back.
