It provides youth club activities five nights per week in the YMCA and an additional four nights per week in a neighbouring community facility. The YMCA has developed particular expertise in the areas of digital media, music and art and these are incorporated into youth activities. The centre offers an after-school programme as well as summer clubs. Londonderry YMCA has a long tradition of offering team based sports and this has been used as a platform to work with a cross-section of sports codes to help embed good community relations and effective governance in sporting organisations in the wider community.
