Raise up n Represent

Raise up n Represent is a great programme for young people 13 to 18 years old.  It was developed at the YMCA specifically for teens and has proven to be really popular wherever it has been introduced. 

Regardless of where you live or what your interests are; whether you want the challenge of being a leader or are happy just hangin', there will be something on the Raise up n Represent programme that suits.

Contact your local YMCA and ask if they have a Raise up n Represent programme you can check out!
