Organizations Filed Purposes: THE CHAPEL HILL-CARRBORO YMCA IS A CHARITABLE, COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATION THAT INCLUDES MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN OF ALL AGES, ABILITIES, INCOMES, RACES AND RELIGIONS. WE ARE DEDICATED TO BUILDING STRONG KIDS, STRONG FAMILIES AND STRONG COMMUNITIES BY PUTTING CHRISTIAN PRINCIPALS INTO PRACTICE THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE HEALTHY LIFESTYLES, STRONG VALUES, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY INTERACTION AND INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING. ALL PERSONS ARE WELCOME AT OUR YMCA, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. OUR YMCA IS FOUNDED AND LED BY VOLUNTEERS FROM OUR COMMUNITY. VOLUNTEERS ALSO SERVE AS MENTORS, COACHES, PROGRAM LEADERS, INSTRUCTORS AND MORE. HELPING THE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES DEVELOP HEALTH IN SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY IS AT THE CORE OF THE YMCA MOVEMENT.

HELPING PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES DEVELOP HEALTH IN SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY.

THE CHAPEL HILL CARRBORO YMCA AND THE CAROL WOODS RETIREMENT CENTER COLLABORATE ON AN INTERGENERATIONAL PRE-SCHOOL THAT BENEFITS BOTH CHILDREN AND RESIDENTS OF THE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY. CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 2 YEARS OLD HAVE A SAFE AND ENRICHING ENVIRONMENT WITH NURTURING TEACHERS AS WELL AS CARING SENIOR RESIDENTS THAT VOLUNTEER IN THE CENTER. CHILDREN FROM ALL FAITHS, ETHNICITIES, BACKGROUND AND INCOME LEVEL ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF A FULL DAY, YEAR ROUND PROGRAM. IN 2013 THE CENTER WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE $10,912 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

YMCA AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM: IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT THERE ARE FEWER AND FEWER FAMILIES THAT CAN SURVIVE ON A ONE PARENT INCOME. MANY OF THOSE FAMILIES THAT DO, DO SO BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE PARENT IN THE FAMILY. MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, OUR COMMUNITY IS IN NEED OF A PLACE WHERE PARENTS CAN FEEL SAFE TO LEAVE THEIR CHILDREN DURING THE AFTER SCHOOL HOURS. EVERYDAY OUR YMCA TRANSPORTS 250 CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL TO THE YMCA FOR A VARIETY OF SAFE AND ENRICHING PROGRAM OPTIONS. 500 CHILDREN ARE IN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS AT 13 DIFFERENT SITES IN CHATHAM COUNTY. CHILDREN OF AGES FIVE TO FIFTEEN FROM HOMES AND COMMUNITIES OF ALL BACKGROUNDS, ETHNICITIES AND INCOME LEVELS COME TO THE YMCA TO LEARN AND PLAY TOGETHER WHILE FOCUSING ON THE FOUR CORE VALUES OF HONESTY, CARING, RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY. THREE LOWER INCOME COMMUNITIES ARE SPECIFICALLY TARGETED FOR THIS PROGRAM BY PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION BOTH TO THE YMCA AND BACK HOME TO THE COMMUNITY AT THE END OF THE DAY. THE $156,161 IN SUBSIDY GIVEN OUT TO PARTICIPANTS SHOWS THE NEED FOR SUCH A PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE COMMITMENT OF OUR YMCA TO MEET THAT NEED.

YMCA SUMMER CAMP DAYS: UNFORTUNATELY FOR KIDS, THE LONG, HOT DAYS OF HANGING AROUND THE HOUSE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD DURING THE SUMMER BREAK ARE THE EXCEPTION AND NO LONGER THE RULE WITH MOST FAMILIES. SUMMER DAY CAMPS ARE NO LONGER A BREAK FROM THE MONOTONY OF SUMMER SO THAT THE KIDS CAN DO SPECIAL ACTIVITIES AND SEE SPECIAL SUMMER FRIENDS. SUMMER CAMPS IN MANY CASES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CHILD CARE PIECE THAT WORKING PARENTS FACE EVERY YEAR. HERE AT THE YMCA WE REALIZE THAT MANY OF OUR SUMMER CAMP KIDS ARE HERE FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER. PROGRAMS ARE NOW SET UP SO THAT EACH WEEK/SESSION IS DIFFERENT ENOUGH TO KEEP A CHILD'S INTEREST THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AND ALL OF THE PROGRAMS ARE WRAPPED AROUND OUR FOUR CORE VALUES OF HONESTY, CARING, RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY. EACH WEEK DURING THE SUMMER THE YMCA ENTERTAINS OVER 750 CHILDREN PER DAY, AGES 4-15, ALL FAITHS, BACKGROUNDS AND INCOME LEVELS. $40,037 DOLLARS IN SCHOLARSHIPS WERE AWARDED IN 2013 TO INSURE THAT NOBODY WAS TURNED AWAY FROM A YMCA DUE TO LACK OF ABILITY TO PAY.
