Children's Programmes are a major component of the YMCA activities as it is the place to groom youth leaders and eventually the leaders for the YMCAs. Pamunugama YMCA gives priority to its Children's Programmes conducting different activities under Children's Club, Scout Programmes and Guiding activities.
Working with children is always a joy and it has to be done with a lot of care and sensitivity as a children's programme leader could totally change the future of a child who comes to the YMCA by being an example as well as a good leader, mentor and a guide. YMCA works with many children comes from different economic, social and family background. Therefore Children's Club leader must have a knowledge to understand and identify the children separately and give attention to each and every child.
