Client Note 1 - YMCA of Greater WhittierMay 15, 2011Form 990, Part IIIStatement of Program Purpose and Accomplishments4. Describe the exempt purpose achievements for each of the organization's three largest program services by expenses. Across the nation and here locally, in the greater Whittier area, the YMCA's cause is strengthening community. Our financial, physical and human resources are strategically deployed to provide programs in three major categories: Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility.4a (Expenses $1,481,937 including grants of $0) (Revenue $2,053,298) HEALTHY LIVING--------------Promoting and supporting healthier living is at the heart of what all YMCAs do. Our nation's lifestyle health crisis demands that community members of all ages be educated, motivated and empowered to lead more active and healthy lives. Our YMCA, drawing from national collaborations with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Harvard School of Public Health and the Stanford School of Medicine, works collaboratively to reduce barriers and increase support so that health seekers may reach their goals.HEALTHY LIFESTYLES PROGRAMSIn 2010, 10,502 YMCA of Greater Whittier members participated year-round in healthy lifestyles programs including a comprehensive menu of group exercise classes, aquatic exercise for persons of varying age and ability, our 12-week Personalized Fitness Program, and team and individual sports. This total includes 2,145 seniors, 2,917 adults, 1,722 young adults and 4,265 youth under the age of 18. All youth and senior members and many adults participate at subsidized rates thanks to contributed dollars from our annual Current Support Campaign.HEALTHY LIVING EVENTSOur YMCA participates in the national YMCA Healthy Kids Day and in a number of local community events that promote healthier living and easier access to much-needed resources.FAMILIES LIVING HEALTHY TOGETHERHundreds of YMCA families participate in family outings, fun walks and our Y-Adventure Guides and Y-Adventure Princess programs. Family camp attendance at YMCA Camp Arbolado was 128 in 2010.4b (Expenses $1,256,387 including grants of $0) (Revenue $1,465,171) YOUTH DEVELOPMENT-----------------YMCA programs for youth address the need for kids to develop positive values, to be engaged in the community, and to grow socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. Purposeful, asset-based YMCA programs afford each child the strengths needed to be fully prepared for adulthood.Young people are valued at the Y and are given the opportunity through programs to be supported by caring adult role models, to be held accountable, to try new things, to enhance their leadership skills. In the following ways, they develop their unique abilities in order to become healthy, contributing adults.HEALTHY KIDS------------In 2010, 2,602 youth and 1,660 teen members were regularly engaged in multiple YMCA healthy lifestyles programs throughout the year. In addition, 4,140 more children and youth under the age of 18 took part in one or more sessions of individual and team sports, swimming and day and resident camping programs.AQUATICS--------With four swimming pools, the YMCA of Greater Whittier provides a wide variety of aquatic health and well-being programs for all ages, including swim lessons, recreational swimming, lap swimming, water exercise classes of all kinds, and even a competitive youth swim team. In 2010, 4,244 children learned to swim at the Y and another 521 infants and toddlers took swim classes with their parents. More than 1,000 people, many subsidized by our Current Support Campaign, use our pools every day.AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS---------------------Our YMCA is the largest provider of non-profit preschool, child care and after-school programming in our service area, providing subsidies and financial assistance that allow 1,950 children to attend safe and enriching programs while their parents attend work or advance their education to support their families. YOUTH SPORTS------------The YMCA provides year-round sports programs for children and adults, including basketball, soccer, T-ball, flag football, gymnastics and martial arts. In 2010, 3,023 children participated in one or more sports, many thanks to subsidies funded by our Campaign.YMCA RESIDENT CAMP------------------In 2010, 3,000 children, adults and seniors enjoyed a week or weekend at YMCA Camp Arbolado, and the vast majority of these are youth. Campers enjoy healthy activities like swimming, canoeing, mountain biking, archery, climbing wall and ropes courses and more. They enjoy nutritious meals and learn YMCA values, as have their parents and grandparents since 1925. Many receive Camperships to attend camp and none are turned away. TEEN LEADERSHIP---------------The YMCA is the largest employer of teens in the country. Developing the next generation of citizen leaders has always been the YMCA's business. The YMCA of Greater Whittier has organized a Teen Leadership Council involving 19 middle and high school students in a variety of social and service opportunities. In 2010, 41 teens participated in an intensive Counselor-in-Training program at YMCA Camp Arbolado. More than 100 volunteer one week or more as camp counselors each year.YMCA VALUES-----------THe YMCA's core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility permeate all of our youth programs. YMCA staff and volunteer leaders can all articulate these values, and are trained in teaching them to children and youth using a variety of curriculum and by their own personal example. The purposeful teaching of these values is one of the things that set the YMCA apart from other organizations serving children and youth.4c (Expenses $627,610 including grants of $0) (Revenue $674,660) SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY--------------------PERSONS WITH DISABILITIESIn collaboration with local Regional Centers, the Easter Seals Society and other agencies, the YMCA of Greater Whittier provides health and well-being programs, including swim lessons, exercise programs, mobility and nutrition education to more than 300 physically and/or developmentally disabled children and adults.BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGThe YMCA Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provided free blood pressure screening to 3,194 seniors during 2010.THE YMCA STRIDE PROGRAMStride is a coooperative program of the YMCA of Greater Whittier and the Whittier Union High School District. It is a day program that helps 30 developmentally disabled adults achieve their highest potential in the community and in everyday life. Participants are at the Stride program center daily up to 30 hours per week, with activities focusing on daily living skills, practical math, computer usage, community resources, gardening, library and vocational training.VOLUNTEERSIn 2010, 2,326 YMCA volunteers gave 157,579 service hours at forty locations throughout our service area. According to Independent Sector the value of this service to the YMCA and other organizations was $3,690,500.

In 2010, 341 YMCA members and other volunteers called on more than 6,000 members and friends of the YMCA and raised $339,596 from a total of 2,460 contributors.INCOME BASED FEESYMCA membership and program fees are income-based, with subsidy coming from our annual Current Support Campaign. In 2010, 1,853 members and participants were able to take part in virtually every YMCA program because the YMCA was able to provide financial assistance in the form of subsidized fees. ACTIVATE WHITTIER In response to our community's obesity/inactivity crisis, our YMCA is working to promote healthier living in three branch locations, ten program sites and out in the community through Activate America, a nationwide effort to help individuals adopt healthy habits and behaviors, while also examining the physical environment - sidewalks, bike paths, healthy eating options - in our neighborhoods, schools and workplaces so that our communities can shape healthful change. Locally, our YMCA is working with "Activate Whittier" partners including the City of Whittier, Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital, the Whittier Area Chamber of Commerce and the Whittier City School District to create an environment that supports healthy lifestyle choices, and programs that are available to all persons
