BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 TO PUT CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT BUILD HEALTHY SPIRIT, MIND, AND BODY FOR ALL. OUR FOCUS IS ON YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, HEALTHY LIVING, AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. THE VISION OF THE Y IS TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES THROUGH HEALTHY LIVING, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. THE Y IS A STRONG, VIBRANT, PART OF THE COMMUNITY. DESPITE TURBULENT TIMES, OUR MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS ARE SOLID, OUR ANNUAL STRONG KIDS CAMPAIGN SET A NEW RECORD RAISING OVER $1.3 MILLION, AND OUR PROGRAMS ARE FULL OF KIDS, FAMILIES, AND ADULTS. THESE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE COMMUNITY BELIEVES IN OUR MISSION AND THE IMPACT THE Y IS HAVING ON NURTURING THE POTENTIAL IN OUR CHILDREN, PROMOTING HEALTHY LIVING, AND ADVOCATING SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS, INCLUDING HEALTHY U AND NUTRITION IN ACTION, CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A VALUABLE RESOURCE TO THE COMMUNITY. OUR AFTERSCHOOL LOOP PROGRAM WITH GRAND RAPIDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS DOUBLED AND OUR ARTS PROGRAMS EXTENDED NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO CONNECT WITH THE Y. OUR CORE PROGRAMS IN AQUATICS, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, CAMP, CHILD CARE, AND SPORTS CONTINUE TO THRIVE. WE HAVE CONTINUED OUR COMMITMENT TO UTILIZING THE SEARCH INSTITUTE ASSET MODEL TO HELP US MEASURE OUR PROGRAM OUTCOMES TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT WE ARE HAVING ON THE LIVES OF PEOPLE. OUR Y IS ABOUT MORE THAN STATISTICS - IT IS ABOUT PEOPLE. OUR VOLUNTEERS, STAFF, MEMBERS, AND PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS ALL COMBINE TO MAKE OUR Y A STRONG, VIABLE, COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATION. WITH THE SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY WE HAVE GROWN TO BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS WE ARE. PHILANTHROPIC GIVING TO THE Y HELPED INCREASE OUR CAPACITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. WITH STRONG PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT APPROXIMATELY: $6,000,000 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED FOR MEMBERSHIP, PROGRAMS, AND CHILDCARE THROUGH UNITED WAY, OUR ANNUAL STRONG KIDS FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN, DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES FUNDS, GRANTS, AND DONATIONS. 1,500 INDIVIDUALS WERE INVOLVED IN CHILDCARE AND AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS. CHILD CARE IS ESSENTIAL FOR MANY FAMILIES. THE Y PROVIDES A SAFE, NURTURING, AND FUN ENVIRONMENT FOR KIDS. PARENTS FEEL COMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT THEY CAN GO TO WORK AND LEAVE THEIR CHILD IN AN ACCREDITED PROGRAM AND THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE MENTALLY STIMULATED WITH A CURRICULUM THAT ENSURES THAT EACH CHILD DEVELOPS AT THEIR OWN PACE. CAMP MANITOU-LIN HAD 13,000 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATE OVER THE PAST YEAR. OUR GOAL IS TO PROMOTE TEAMWORK, SPORTSMANSHIP, AND FUN FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED IN OUR SUMMER PROGRAMS. CAMP MANITOU-LIN'S THERAPEUTIC RIDING PROGRAM STRENGTHENS OUR COMMUNITY WITH PROGRAMS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. CHILDREN FIND THEMSELVES GOING ON EXCURSIONS, MAKING NEW FRIENDS, AND EXPERIENCING THINGS THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO, WHEN GOING TO OUR CAMP. CHILDREN ARE KEPT BUSY LEARNING ABOUT NATURE, CANOEING, AND USING THE ROCK CLIMBING WALL. IT IS A FUN AND MEMORABLE TIME FOR ALL PEOPLE INVOLVED. 1,400 INNER CITY CHILDREN WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE Y'S MID-CITY ADVENTURE CLUB - A COMMUNITY COLLABORATION WITH MULTIPLE DONORS. MID-CITY OFFERS A DAY CAMP EXPERIENCE FOR URBAN CHILDREN WITH AN EMPHASIS ON MENTORING, HEALTHY U, AND FIELD TRIPS. THIS PROGRAM GIVES CHILDREN AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE ACTIVITIES THEY MAY NEVER HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE BEFORE. 1,600 INNER CITY CHILDREN PARTICIPATED IN THE INNER CITY YOUTH BASEBALL/SOFTBALL PROGRAM THAT IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WEST MICHIGAN WHITECAPS AND FIFTH THIRD BANK. THIS COLLABORATION ENSURES THAT EVERY CHILD IN THE INNER CITY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY BASEBALL IN HIS OR HER OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. THE WORK OF THE Y GOES BEYOND ITS FACILITIES AND INTO EVERY CORNER OF OUR COMMUNITY TO PROMOTE HEALTHY LIVING. ONE OF OUR MOST EXTENSIVE INITIATIVES IS ACTIVATE WEST MICHIGAN; A COMMUNITY-WIDE PROGRAM DEVELOPING LOCAL SOLUTIONS TO RISING RATE OF OBESITY AND CHRONIC DISEASE. THIS INNOVATIVE RESPONSE IS CHANGING THE WAY WE LIVE, THINK, AND ACT. A COMMUNITY WIDE BMI STUDY POSITIONED THE Y AS A LEADER IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO IDENTIFYING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, THEN ACTING TO PROVIDE COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS. IN THIS SPIRIT, THE Y COLLABORATES WITH OVER 70 PARTNER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP MAKE THIS POSSIBLE. THE HEALTHY U PROGRAM-A KEY COMPONENT OF ACTIVATE WEST MICHIGAN-SERVES 50,000 YOUTH WITH INTERACTIVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS EDUCATION; ADDRESSING THE GROWING NEEDS OF CHILDREN, YOUTH, TEENS, AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THIS PROGRAM HELPS INSTILL HEALTHY EATING HABITS AND LIFESTYLES IN OUR COMMUNITY'S CHILDREN THAT THEY CAN CARRY ON WITH THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. WITH HEALTHY U AS A FOUNDATION, THE Y HAS ALSO DEVELOPED NUTRITION IN ACTION, KIDS IN ACTION, SISTERS IN ACTION, LATINAS IN ACTION, AND CAMP HEALTHY U ALSO ADDRESSES CHALLENGES IN ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS BY BUILDING COMMUNITY GARDENS AND BRINGING FARMERS' MARKETS TO THE INNER CITY. THIS YEAR THE Y HAS STARTED ITS FIRST WEEKLY FARMERS' MARKET. NOT ONLY DOES THE Y'S FARMERS' MARKET ACCEPT DEBIT CARDS AND CASH, BUT IT ALSO ACCEPTS BRIDGE CARDS. THE Y'S FARMERS MARKET IS A PART OF THE DOUBLE-UP FOOD BUCKS, WITH THE INITIATIVE TO PROMOTE THE AVAILABILITY OF HEALTHY LOCAL FOOD TO LOW INCOME FAMILIES, BUT ALSO SHOW THAT EATING HEALTHY DOES NOT MEAN SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD. OUR FARMER'S MARKET PROVIDES THESE 'GOOD FOR YOU' FOODS TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND AT THE SAME TIME HELPS STIMULATE AND SUPPORT OUR LOCAL ECONOMY. RESEARCH FROM THE SEARCH INSTITUTE TELLS US THAT ALL KIDS ARE AT RISK. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY LIVE IN THE SUBURBS OR THE INNER CITY; ALL KIDS FACE CHALLENGES AND CHOICES. THE Y GIVES KIDS THE TOOLS AND EXPERIENCES NECESSARY FOR THEM TO INCREASE THEIR DEVELOPMENTAL ASSETS SUCH AS COMMON SENSE, POSITIVE EXPERIENCES, AND QUALITIES THAT HELP INFLUENCE CHOICES PEOPLE MAKE. WITH THE NURTURING SUPPORT FROM THE Y COMMUNITY OUR CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP INTO CARING, RESPONSIBLE ADULTS. Y PROGRAMS BUILD STRONG KIDS BY BUILDING ASSETS. ACCORDING TO THE SEARCH INSTITUTE SURVEY OF OUR Y PARTICIPANTS, 91% OF YOUTH & TEENS INVOLVED IN Y PROGRAMS STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN, EVEN WHEN IT IS UNPOPULAR TO DO SO, A CHARACTERISTIC ADMIRED BY MANY. 88% OF TEENS IN Y PROGRAMS HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO SMOKE CIGARETTES. 92% OF YOUTH AND TEENS INVOLVED IN Y PROGRAMS HAVE CHOSEN TO STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS. 95% OF YOUTH AND TEENS FEEL THAT Y STAFF CARE ABOUT THEM AND SERVE AS ROLE MODELS. STRONG FAMILIES ARE THE CORNERSTONE OF THE Y. WITH FAMILY MEMBERSHIPS, FAMILY NIGHTS, AND FAMILY FRIENDLY PROGRAMMING, THE Y OFTEN SERVES AS A REFUGE FOR FAMILIES SEEKING TO ESCAPE THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF TODAY'S BUSY WORLD. QUALITY, VALUES-BASED PROGRAMS GIVE FAMILIES A PLACE TO RECONNECT AND ENJOY TIME TOGETHER. AS FAMILIES SEARCH FOR BALANCE, MANY FIND IT AT THE Y. THE Y BECOMES A LARGER EXTENDED FAMILY FOR MANY OF OUR MEMBERS. THEY FIND SUPPORT IN ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR LIVES, A SAFE HAVEN IN TIMES THEY NEED A PLACE TO GO, AND GOOD TIMES THAT CREATE MEMORIES AND FRIENDSHIPS THAT MAY LAST THEM FOR YEARS. STRONG COMMUNITIES ARE BEING BUILT BOTH GLOBALLY AND LOCALLY THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE Y OF LEON MEXICO, AS WELL AS JC PENNY RIGHT HERE IN WEST MICHIGAN. WHETHER IT'S A COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROJECT LIKE FARMERS' MARKETS OR THE AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS, THE Y IS COMMITTED TO BRINGING COMMUNITIES TOGETHER.
