ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
THE YMCA CREATES A COMMUNITY WHERE ALL ARE WELCOME. THE YMCA BUILDS A HEALTY SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY IN CHILDREN, INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHILE INSTILLING THE VALUES OF CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH OUR PRACTICES AND PROGRAMS.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
2,730 RECEIVED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ENABLING THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN A YMCA PROGRAM. AS A PART OF THIS COMMITMENT, THE YMCA PROVIDES FREE MEMBERSHIP TO OVER 55 OTHER NON-PROFIT AGENCIES WHOSE CLIENTS HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS, SUCH AS FOSTER HOMES, GROUP HOMES FOR CHILDREN WITH NO PARENTS, DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT CENTERS, MENTORING PROGRAMS AND DISABLED INDIVIDUALS. COLLABORATING TO SUPPORT OTHERS IN OUR COMMUNITY IS A MAJOR FOCUS FOR OUR ORGANIZATION. IN ALL YMCA WELLNESS PROGRAMS, WE EMPHASIZE A HOLISTIC APPROACH TOWARDS HEALTH BY STRESSING THE BALANCED DEVELOPMENT OF SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY. THE YMCA'S CORE VALUES OF HONESTY, CARING, RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY ARE TAUGHT AS A WAY TO HELP ALL PEOPLE COMMIT TO INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY WELLNESS. THE YMCA MAINTAINS A MAJOR FOCUS ON DEVELOPING STRONG FAMILIES AND OFFERS CONCURRENT PROGRAMMING AND FREE CHILD WATCH SUPPORT THROUGH A PROGRAM CALLED FAMILY TIME. WITH THIS PROGRAM, THE ENTIRE FAMILY CAN COME AT ONE TIME TO ENSURE EVERYONE GETS TO PARTICIPATE IN HEALTHY ACTIVITIES. OVER 70% OF OUR MEMBERSHIPS ARE YOUTH AND FAMILIES, SO THIS MAKES A BIG IMPACT. IN ADDITION, WE RUN SPECIAL PROGRAMS LIKE HEALTY KIDS DAY, HOST FAMILY OUTINGS AND OFFER SPECIAL RATES TO FAMILIES. WE MAINTAIN A BROAD DEFINITION OF FAMILIES TO ENSURE TRADITIONAL AND NONTRADITIONAL FAMILIES CAN PARTICIPATE. OVER 150 CLASSES ARE OFFERED EACH WEEK FOR PEOPLE OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE. THIS BROAD SCOPE OF SERVICE ENSURES THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A LIFETIME OF PARTICIPATION, WHICH IS THE MOST POWERFUL METHODOLOGY FOR LONG TERM CHANGE. THE YMCA IS ALSO COMMITTED TO PROVIDING HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES FOR YOUTH DURING THE HIGH RISK AFTER SCHOOL HOURS BY PROVIDING AN EXTENSIVE VARIETY OF PROGRAMS TO SERVE A CHILD'S MANY INTERESTS. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONAL AND COMPETITIVE SWIMMING, GYMNASTICS AND DANCE PROGRAMS, A MULTITUDE OF YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAMS INCLUDING BASKETBALL, SOCCER, WRESTLING, T-BALL, OUTDOOR ADVENTURE, TENNIS AND FITNESS. THE YMCA ENCOURAGES AN EXTENSIVE USE OF VOLUNTEERS AND MENTORS TO RUN ITS PROGRAM AND INCLUDE FAMILY PARTICIPATION AS A WAY TO BRING FAMILIES CLOSER TOGETHER. DUE TO THE YMCA'S LONG STANDING INVOLVEMENT IN AQUATICS, AND OUR CONCERN FOR KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE AROUND OCEANS, PONDS, LAKES, STREAMS, RIVERS AND SWIMMING POOLS, WE PROVIDE FREE AQUATIC SAFETY PROGRAM THAT SERVES 1,200 FOURTH GRADE CHILDREN PER YEAR IN MANCHESTER'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SYSTEM. PROVIDING THESE PROGRAMS FOR ALL AGES, LEVELS AND ABILITIES OFFERS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH TO BUILD LIFELONG RELATIONSHIPS AND FRIENDS, BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE, SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND OF COURSE, DEEPEN VALUES.
SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B
POSITIVE ROLE MODELS TO HELP GUIDE THEIR DECISIONS. IT IS PROVEN THAT THE MORE POSITIVE ASSETS A CHILD HAS, THE LESS LIKELY THEY ARE TO ENGAGE IN HIGH RISK BEHAVIOR THAT MAY LEAD TO NEGATIVE HEALTH HABITS AND ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIORS. WITH THIS AS A BACKDROP, THE YMCA IS THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF CHILDCARE PROGRAMS IN THE AREA AND SERVES OVER 1,030 CHILDREN PER DAY. A SPECIAL EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON ENSURING ACCESS TO PROGRAMS IN LOW INCOME AREAS BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH GRANTS, STATE AID AND YMCA FUND RAISING. DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS WHEN CHILDREN ARE NOT IN SCHOOL, THE YMCA OFFERS EXTENSIVE DAY AND RESIDENT CAMPING PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN 18 MONTHS TO 15 YEARS OLD. AGAIN, THIS PROVIDES MANY OF OUR CENTER-CITY YOUTH WITH A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE WITH CHILDREN FROM WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE STATE AND COUNTRY. A MAJOR EMPHASIS OF OUR CAMPING PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH TO GAIN LEADERSHIP SKILLS BY PROGRESSING FROM A CAMPER TO A LEADER-IN-TRAINING (L.I.T.), TO A COUNSELOR-IN-TRAINING (C.I.T.), TO A JUNIOR COUNSELOR AND FINALLY TO A FULL COUNSELOR. EACH YEAR, THE YMCA EMPLOYS OVER 425 YOUNG ADULTS AND IS ONE OF THE COMMUNITY'S LARGEST YOUTH EMPLOYERS. THROUGH OUR CAMPING PROGRAMS, WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT 12 MONTHS PER YEAR TO BUILD A HEALTY SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY.
THIRD ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C
COMMUNITY. THE YMCA SERVES 65 YOUTH PER YEAR WITH OVER 150 REFERRALS FOR THE 65 SLOTS, PLUS 160 ALUMNI AND FAMILY MEMBERS. THE YMCA ALSO PROVIDES A SPECIAL PROGRAM CALLED THE YMCA STRIVE FOR SUSPENDED AND EXPELLED STUDENTS SINCE NO PROGRAM EXISTS IN MANCHESTER TO SUPPORT THEM WHEN THEY ARE OUT OF SCHOOL. THE YMCA RUNS THE PROGRAM (IN COOPERATION WITH THE MANCHESTER SCHOOL DEPARTMENT) IN THE YMCA FACILITY (DOWNTOWN BRANCH) AND PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO COMPLETE THEIR SCHOOL WORK TO STAY ON COURSE WITH THEIR STUDIES, RECEIVE TUTORING HELP, PERFORM COMMUNITY SERVICE AND LEARN WAYS TO IMPROVE SOCIAL SKILLS TO AVOID FURTHER PROBLEMS IN SCHOOL. OVER 196 YOUTH WERE SERVED THIS YEAR. THE YMCA START PROGRAM OPERATES IN TWO OF OUR CENTER-CITY SCHOOLS AND PROVIDES QUALITY CHILDCARE FOR 150 CHILDREN; 85% OF WHICH ARE BELOW FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. ENGLISH IS A SECOND LANGUAGE FOR THE MAJORITY OF CHILDREN SO THE ADDITIONAL TUTORING AND HOMEWORK HELP IS CRITICAL IN IMPROVING THEIR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL. MOST FAMILIES PAY AS LITTLE AS 3.00 PER WEEK. THIS KEEPS FAMILIES OFF OF STATE ASSISTANCE AS IT ENABLES PARENTS TO WORK AND KNOW THEIR CHILDREN ARE WELL CARED FOR. THE YMCA ALSO RUNS A TEEN CENTER TO PROVIDE A LONG TERM CONNECTION TO THE YMCA FOR CHILDREN WHO NEED A POSITIVE PLACE TO COME DURING AFTER SCHOOL HOURS. THE CENTER IS RUN BY STAFF TRAINED TO SUPPORT POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. IN ORDER TO DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS IN YOUTH AND ENCOURAGE CIVIL ENGAGEMENT, THE YMCA RUNS A MODEL LEGISLATURE AT THE NH STATE CAPITAL FOR OVER 355 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THIS IS A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM WITH LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEMS AND TIES INTO THE SCHOOL'S CURRICULUM ON GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC POLICY.
