Expanded Learning Opportunities - MY Club
 

The Yosemite Unified School District has been partnering with the Mountain Area Youth Organization (MY Club) to provide our students with an afterschool program at both the Coarsegold and Rivergold campuses since December of 2022.  During these past two school years, there has been an overwhelming amount of interest in the program, and we have been able to expand the number on our rosters by increasing the MY Club staff at both locations. 

If you are interested in having your child join the program this coming school year, please fill out a MY Club application.  If you would rather apply in person, applications can also be found in our school offices.  Once your child is a MY Club member, they are able to participate in all MY Club activities throughout the mountain community.  Their Mountain Youth Clubs are open directly after school until 6:00pm during school days each day the campus is open.  

MY Club offers many other community activities to their members throughout the year, which YUSD helps to provide.  Take a look at some of what they have to offer:

 

 

This summer, MY Club will be held at the Rivergold Elementary campus in Rooms 603/604/605 down in the lower portables.  If you have an interest in having your child signed up to become a member of MY Club, please reach out to them directly using their MY Club website, or apply in person in one of our school offices. Your application will be routed to their staff and someone will contact you shortly thereafter.
