TO PUT JUDEO-CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT BUILD HEALTHY SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY FOR ALL

Healthy Living: The Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. We provide guidance and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particular important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, chronic diseases, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. This year we provided financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate.

Youth Development: Our YMCA is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why we help young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Our YMCA programs, such as Youth in Government, Y Reads mentoring and enrichment programs, academic enrichment and homework assistance, and literacy summer camps and wellness programs, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth and wellness. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for over 80 percent of the young people that we engage. To a large degree serving Title 1 schools and their students.

Social Responsibility: Our YMCA believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for multiple decades. Y programs, such as Meals for Hope, Klothes for Kids, senior lunches, bread runs, health lecture series and family functions are examples of how we deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. This year we engaged over 15,000 YMCA members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to survive.
