Organizations Filed Purposes:
The mission of the Young Men's Christian Association of Central New York is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
Healthy Living: Our YMCA is one of Central New York's leading voices on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, shared interests and just plain fun. As a result, thousands of 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 confronts a pandemic as well as further issues such as an obesity crisis, families struggle to balance the demands of work, home and school, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Among YMCAs nationally, we are a leader in providing free programs for cancer survivors and programs to prevent diabetes. Our Downtown Writers Center is a critical piece of the area's cultural fabric. Many of our programs were offered virtually in 2020 to continue to support our members as our facilities were temporarily limited and we worked with many members to provide financial assistance and membership help to ensure continued access to the Y.
Youth Development: Our YMCA is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen in Central New York. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover 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 Y programs offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. We are Central New York's largest provider of top-quality, low-cost, school-age childcare. Our teen volunteer/work program provides on-the-job experience to more teens than any other employer in the area. Other Y offerings include day camp, activities and facilities dedicated to teens and tweens, swimming lessons, youth sports, special-interest clubs, youth exercise programs and inclusion programs for children who have special needs. Our operations pivoted in 2020 to prioritize serving the children of our members and essential workers during COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns through our child care and camps.
Social Responsibility: Our YMCA believes in giving back and supporting neighbors. We have been meeting the needs of Central New York since 1858. Through our programs, we deliver training, resources and support which empowers our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. Our Safety Around Water program helps hundreds of children receive bathing suits and gain the skills and confidence they need to stay safe and have fun in and around water. At our Downtown Men's Residence, we provide counseling, subsidized housing, and other support services to men in transition. Our Downtown Senior Center provides subsidized housing to senior citizens and people with disabilities. Through our Annual Campaign and other fundraising efforts, donors provided more than $ 650,000 to support our cause.
