The Bayshore Family Success Center is part of a state-wide network of Family Success Centers. This particular Family Success Center is operated by our local YMCA of Greater Monmouth County. The state's goal is to have recognizable, designated places for families to obtain information, support, and assistance before problems become crises. We are a prevention program.

We provide a number of assistance, educational and family-friendly programs to residents of the Keyport to Highlands corridor and expand into Middletown. Our programs help many families connect to resources, participate in family-friendly events, and increase their knowledge on a number of topics through our educational programming free of charge.

Our friendly greeting center consists of various resource areas targeted to families interested in parenting resources, recreation programs, and general information on local programs. Families or individuals can meet one-on-one with staff to obtain information and guidance on many topics.

Our monthly calendar of events consists of free family events that bring kids and adults together in a fun-filled environment. Events include holiday-themed events, bingo, movie nights, and many other seasonal events. Education programs focus on areas of budgeting, debt-reduction, work readiness, resume writing, emotional supports, and various child-related topics of interest to parents and guardians. Every Saturday, we offer free peer-to-peer tutoring in three convenient locations. 

We have 2 diaper pantries every month. The first pantry we have is on the 1st Friday of every month from 10am-12pm at our center in Leonardo and you do NOT have to register. The second pantry we have is on the 3rd Wednesday of every month from 1:30pm-3:30pm at St. Ann's Gymnasium in Keansburg which requires registration. If you would like to register for the Keansburg Pantry, you can call us at 732-497-3811 or email us at [email protected].
