Organizations Filed Purposes:
The Gaston County Family 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 principles 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.
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, water activities, fun and shared interests. As a result, more than 30,000 people in our community are receiving the support, guidance and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, cancer wellness, families struggle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs such as LIVESTRONG Cancer Wellness and senior initiatives are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. In 2019 we provided $174,772 in financial assistance for healthy living, education, and leadership to people who otherwise would have faced economic barriers barring them from participation.
Youth Development: Our Y 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 is 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 Aquatics Initiatives, Youth Sports, Summer Day Camp, Afterschool, and Teen Leadership offer a range of life skills that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. We also provide a variety of activities that emphasize parent education and help parents learn more about how to raise healthy happy children who develop self-esteem and moral and ethical values. Our YMCA believes every family should have access to affordable programs and gave away $218,174 in 2019.
Social Responsibility: Our Y believes in giving back and supporting our community. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for more than 50 years. Y programs, such as Summer Feeding Program and Safety Around Water are examples of how we serve and empower our neighbors to effect change, close the achievement gap during the summer months and overcome the cycle of poverty. In 2019, we engaged thousands of YMCA members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.
