Youth development our YMCA is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the oportunity 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 achievements. Our YMCA programs, such as day camp, parent and child art and after school child care, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that help to make participation possible for more young people that we engage. Food programs, such as cacfp and SFSP provide needed nutrition to many young people in our area.

Healthy living our YMCA is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interest. As a result, 3,000 in our community are receiving the support, guidance and resourcles 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. We provided financial assistance to people who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation.
