The Scott County Family Y and the Boy Scouts are two of the most prominent and long-standing character development organizations in the country. It's no wonder we have teamed up to make value-based youth programs accessible to as many of the young Scott County residents as possible. The Y is currently implementing the Boy Scouts "Learning For Life" curriculum at 6 different sites. The Scott County Family Y and the Illowa Council of the Boy Scouts of America are currently working on more opportunities to partner and lead our community into a stronger, healthier future.
Boys & Girls Club
The Scott County Family Y has a collaborative program with the Boys & Girls Club of the Mississippi Valley with a special program called “Superstars”. This is an after-school program catered towards underprivileged children between the ages of 6-18 years. The Scott County Family Y has always offered licensed after school programs at the downtown Davenport Family YMCA. This program is offered for families that the parent or guardian is working or in school. There is a significant number of children whose parents are not working or going to school or feel that their children are old enough to stay at home alone. It is those children that we are targeting to “drop in” this unique after school partnership program to receive tutoring, mentoring, recreation & a healthy snack. The program is from 2:30-6:00 during the school year. Also “Summer Superstars” is available during the summer from 12-5:30pm.

Davenport Community School District
The unique shared-use agreements with the Davenport Community School District and the Scott County Family Y at North High School and West High School have provided the students, teachers and the community with a great YMCA facility in their own neighborhood.

Operation Family Time Out
The Scott County Family Y and the Two Rivers YMCA have partnered with Army Community Service, the Iowa State Extension, the Illinois State Extension and the American Red Cross and many other community agencies to provide a “Family Time Out” recreation, social, educational programs and a support network for deployed families. Once a month military children from infants to young teens can spend a fun filled afternoon at a local YMCA facility enjoying swimming, basketball, racquetball as well as crafts, tutoring, mentoring, and educational classes for the older kids like first aid and babysitting classes from the Red Cross. During this time, parents can stay and enjoy the time with their children, or have a few hours to themselves that they may not have otherwise. A time to have lunch with other military spouses, get their hair cut, or just go home and enjoy some quiet time.

The Scott County Family Y is a proud partner agency with the United Way of the Quad City Area. The United Way helps us to fund 5 program areas: Membership scholarships, Childcare, Teen Center, Solutions and Superstars.
