Programs (FY 2024)

What They Do

$9.4M in expenses

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: McGaw 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. We help young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our Y programs such as Child Care, Early Learning, Head Start, STEM education for middle school children, youth sports, day camp, and residential camp, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. Last year, McGaw provided $705,805 in scholarship assistance to make our youth development programs accessible to the community.

$5.4M in expenses

HEALTHY LIVING: McGaw YMCA is a leading voice on improving individual and community well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interests. As a result, thousands of families 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, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all people. Last year, McGaw provided $380,358 in scholarship assistance to make our healthy living programs accessible to the community.

$1.2M in expenses

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: McGaw YMCA believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for more than 130 years. Y programs such as the men's residence and food programs are examples of how we deliver training, resources, and support that empower our neighbors to effect change and overcome obstacles. Last year, we engaged 250 YMCA members, participants, and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive. Last year, McGaw provided $38,103 in scholarship assistance to make our social responsibility programs accessible to the community.
