Youth Developement
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a
Youth Development: Our goal is to turn no child away from YMCA programs regardless of their ability to pay. The annual Community Support Campaign raises $340,000 to help fulfill this commitment to our community. In 2010 we engaged 6,100 young teens and high school youth in programs that provide them with a safe place to go. "Refueling Stations" help youth to live balanced lives in spirit, mind, and body. Youth develop leadership, self-confidence, learn the value of giving back, and connect with positive adults. One hundred percent of these youth receive financial assistance. The Y gives kids positively life-changing experiences. Economic times are challenging for many families, especially this year. We believe that every child deserves a chance to go to summer camp - to spend time with great role models and to develop confidence, cooperation, and understanding. In 2010 the Y provided experiences for 8,215 campers in Day Camps, our English Language Learner Camp, at our Camp Santa Maria Resident Camp, and in Outdoor Education. More than 35% of our campers received some form of financial assistance. The Y provides model school based childcare where the time gap before and after school is filled caringly, creatively, and constructively. Parents of school age children can go to work or school everyday knowing that their children are in a program with caring adults who understand child development. Highly qualified staff provide positive experiences for more than 450 families each week throughout the school year - 35 % of our families could not afford to participate without financial assistance provided by the Y. The Y lets kids be kids, and every kid gets to play. Every kid should experience the feeling of being part of a team. In Youth Sports the Y teaches skills, leadership, and teamwork. No child is turned away because of inability to pay. The Y makes sure that all kids who want to participate get to be part of a team. We served 8,220 youngsters in Youth Sports programs in 2010. The Y teaches kids critical life skills. In 2010 more than 2,600 kids learned to swim, and feel safe in the water at Y pools at Mapleton and Arapahoe.
Healthy Living
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b
Healthy Living: Today in Colorado, as in other areas of the country, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity and associated chronic diseases have surpassed tobacco use as the leading cause of death. The fact now is that one out of every Coloradan is overweight or obese, and two - thirds of the adults who walk through the doors of the YMCA of Boulder Valley have multiple needs and at least one risk factor. YMCA programs for "health seekers" include improving physical activity, relationships, ability to cope with stress, eating habits, spiritual awareness, self perception, and the ability to be a healthy role model. Our goal through programs that address all of these issues with programs such as group exercise, health screening, physical rehabilitation, nutrition, diabetes prevention, and spirit, mind, body programs is to make members and prospective members continually feel that they belong. This is done through paying close attention to their personal information which is applied across a continuity of service. The ultimate outcome is that members will adopt life-long healthy lifestyles. The health of Colorado children has also been sadly and steadily declining when it comes to obesity. Prevalence increased from 13.2% in 2008 to 14.2% in 2010 based on data from the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health. The percentage of Coloradan overweight or obese children of Hispanic origin is 43.3% higher than the national average. The economic costs associated with obesity are staggering. According to a recent estimate, the obesity related health care spending could cost Colorado $3.2 billion by 2018. The Y partners with the Boulder Valley School District, Whole Foods Market, and Heart Smart Kids, Inc., to provide prevention and intervention of childhood obesity through an afterschool program that includes physical activity, nutrition education, encouragement, family involvement, clinical assessment and evaluation. The program is scheduled to serve 156 families over a two year period and is funded by the Colorado Health Foundation, Covidien, and the Amgen Foundation.
Social Responsibility
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c
Social Responsibility: The American Community Survey recently reported that median income has fallen 17% in Boulder over the last decade. The survey also found that more Boulder County residents, many of them children, are living in poverty - 14% as compared to 9.5% in 2000. Boulder County Housing and Human Services has seen a 50% increase in its overall caseload, and food stamps and Medicare have increased 88% and 33% respectively. As a result, "middle income" families here are living close to the bone, and those who are at or near federal poverty level are living in conditions of great stress and deprivation. In addition, changes in government child care subsidies caused many families to turn to the Y for financial assistance resulting in the doubling of child care scholarships. In 2009, two of the Y's non-profit partners faced closing their doors due to financial hardship - the Foster Parent Training Program, and the Safe Child Exchange Program are now housed in YMCA facilities at no cost to them. In addition to providing financial assistance for families and acting as a full-fledged partner in the well-being of the community as a whole, the YMCA of Boulder Valley provides social responsibility programs for diverse youth that build understanding between and across difference by teaching them to help their peers learn to respect differences in others. By providing targeted youth with the support and skills they need to positively impact their peers and build resiliency, we believe that we can reduce the disparity in onset of risk behaviors. The YMCA's Youth Empowering Peers program, targeted at youth of color and LGBQ youth, focuses on educating youth about issues of equity, diversity and acceptance, and teaches the value of service learning through such activities as Reading to End Racism for elementary school age youth and establishing Diversity Clubs at local high schools. YMCA BreakThrough Arts offers quality, free arts programs in easily accessible venues for all high school age youth regardless of their economic situation or ethnic background. The process of creating, expressing, exploring - all help build the valuable assets that are so important to help arm our youth to resist the negative pressures they face every day. BreakThrough Arts has a multi-disciplinary focus, often pushing the boundaries of what "art" is. Classes are offered in a variety of art forms including pottery, digital photography, graffiti, graphic design, belly dance, hip-hop, break dance, cooking, modern dance, ballroom dance, Japanese sword, "junk" fashion, beat boxing, circus arts, film, natural highs (alternatives to drug and alcohol use), and mural making. This approach allows youth to explore different ways of expressing themselves, challenges them to take creative risks and provides them the opportunity to interact with peers from many different social groups. The YMCA "Just Girls" program that helps middle school girls build self-confidence, develop new friendships, participate in service learning, and increase self-awareness. Highly qualified staff mentor girls through topics including self-esteem, body image, health and nutrition, and goals and aspirations. The Lafayette Youth and Families Transitioning in Schools Program, or LYFTS, exists to help youth and parents to build open, strong relationships with an emphasis on youth leadership, community involvement, family events, and parental skill building. Program activities include providing opportunities for youth to be recognized as leaders, providing safe places for youth to develop positive identities, and offering strategies for youth to have open and healthy communication with their parents. Parents are offered monthly workshops on parental skill building and adolescent development, and recreational activities for the whole family are also incorporated in the program.
Program Services
Form 990, Part III, Line 4
The three largest program services of the YMCA of Boulder Valley are Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. The Y is open to all, financial assistance is available, and the opportunity to participate extends to everyone. Every day, we work to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income, ability, religion, or background, has the support they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
