On Saturday September 26, 2015, the Mercedes-Benz of Nashville Tennis Classic was held at the Maryland Farms YMCA in Brentwood. At the tournament, participants got to hear from Ivy, one of Y-CAP's recent participants and about her experience in the program. For 2015, the tournament and silent auction raised $30,569 an increase of $4,342 over 2014! This event makes a huge impact on the youth in our community and this was clearly evident in Ivy's testimony about the difference YCAP has made in her life. We, at Mercedes-Benz of Nashville, feel privileged to be able to partner with Y-CAP in this important work.
Y-CAP is an outreach program serving teens ages 12-18 of Williamson County by offering dynamic opportunities to grow in spirit, mind and body. We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Our mission is to offer new opportunities for teens through volunteerism, team-building, goal setting, relationship building, artistic exploration and life skills development.
Y-Cap is both a prevention and early intervention based program that centers its curriculum around the concept of the "40 Developmental Assets for Adolescents", a study conducted by the Search Institute identifying a set of skills, experiences and behaviors that enable young people to develop in to successful adults who are prepared to make a positive contribution to society.
