ASYMCA
keeps children and adults entertained and active to build and maintain
a healthy lifestyle. We offer a variety of programs designed to meet
the specific needs of each branch. In San Diego, ASYMCA operates a
program at the Naval Medical Center for hospital patients to enjoy
recreation activities such as trips with great seats to Padre games,
therapy dog visitation, and aquatics classes. Our branch in Twentynine
Palms offers activities for children under five while parents use Base
fitness equipment or attend Yoga classes. Other local branch programs
include:
• Dance Classes

 Nationally, one of ASYMCA’s keystone programs
is Operation Hero, a program that aids children from six to 12 years
of age who are experiencing temporary difficulty in school, both socially
and academically. Often these difficulties are caused by frequent moves
and family disruption due to deployments. Referred by teachers, parents,
or school officials, the semester-long program provides after-school
tutoring and mentoring assistance in a small group with certified teachers.
Operation Hero facilitates a positive environment, encourages responsible
behavior, and gets children back on track in school, both academically
and socially.
Twelve hundred students per year participate in Operation Hero, with
5000 participating since inception. Operation Hero is sponsored by
Accenture, General Dynamics, NFL Charities, and Sodexho USA.
