New Building
The Kingston Y.M.C.A. suffered a fire in 1995. Out of the ashes
arose opportunity. The "Y" is now housed in a 150 x 100 feet
Multi-purpose Auditorium with offices and changing rooms. It houses
all our indoor programs such as basketball, badminton, netball,
taekwondo etc. In addition to this we will be constructing outdoor
courts for basketball and netball. Construction of four classrooms
from converted containers all under a common roof is completed.
YMCA / Amy Bailey Training Centre
This Center, located at Rosedale Avenue in the inner-city of Kingston,
continues to concentrate on Vocational Training in food and nutrition
and garment construction. Students are tutored in English,
mathematics, basic accounting, current affairs and family life
education. Most of the registered students are from low income homes
and most are categorized as youth heading for a life on the streets
or a life of crime. The Center seeks funding from the collection of
fees to help with the expenses of running the school. These fees are
not always collectable and at NO time are students turned away
because of the non-payment.
