Youth developmentour 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 preschool, school-aged child care, camp y-owasco, swim team, youth sports, aquatics programs and leadership programs, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for over 120 young people. In 2024, we provided nearly $98,334 in financial assistance in youth programming.

Healthy livingthe YMCA is a leading voice in health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, hundreds of people in our community are receiving 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, 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. In 2024, we provided over $126,655 in financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate.

Social responsibilityour YMCA believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for 160 years. Y programs such as y-pals, babysitting training, swim free programs and casey park aquatics are examples of how we deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. In 2019, we started our livestrong at the YMCA program and subsequently began other chronic disease programs such as diabetes prevention. Since the inception of our livestrong program, we have supported 85 cancer survivors and their families. In 2024, we engaged over 3,260 YMCA members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.
