PRYDE PROGRAM
Drug & Gang Prevention		  
   

The Mission Valley YMCA provides a Pryde after-school
program for students in 3rd through 5th grade at three
elementary schools:

  • Chesterton Elementary
  • Kit Carson Elementary
  • Linda Vista Elementary

The Pryde Program is free to the participants and is held Monday through Friday directly after school dismissal until 6:00 p.m. Activities include homework assistance and academic enrichment, sports, games, arts and crafts, field trips and special events.

The Pryde program is designed to instill in children a positive sense of self-esteem in order to assist them in making good life decisions and in resisting drugs, alcohol and gang involvement. The Pryde curriculum focuses primarily on developing positive self-esteem, character development, cultural awareness and team sportsmanship.

The Pryde program goal is to assist children in developing pride in self, family, community and the future.
