H Olympics

  YCS is honored to host the 19th Annual H’Olympics 

   at Ramapo College

June 14th—June 18th

For four days, 200 athletes will participate in basketball, volleyball, track & field and swimming tournaments with their peers across the country.

The National Fellowship of Child Care Executives initiated the H (Home) Olympics to give youth in out-of-home placements and foster care  a chance to participate in competitive sports with their peers. In 1991, it started out as a simple basketball  tournament between several group homes in Pennsylvania.  It has grown into a national event.

To make the games as meaningful as possible for all the athletes,

 we need your support.  To find out how you can become a sponsor
