ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FOR OVER 140 YEARS THE YMCA OF SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS HAS BEEN TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE METRO-EAST. OUR MISSION IS "TO PUT CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES IN PRACTICE THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT BUILD HEALTH SPIRIT MIND AND BODY FOR ALL." ROOTED IN CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES, OUR PROGRAMS DO MORE THAN JUST PROVIDE DISTRACTION; THEY CREATE MOMENTS OF REVOLUTION, MOMENTS OF TRANSFORMATION, IN THE CHARACTER OF THE INDIVIDUAL, THE VALUES OF A FAMILY, AND IN THE CULTURE OF OUR COMMUNITIES. WHAT STARTED AS A MOVEMENT WITHOUT A PLACE TO CALL HOME, HAS NOW GROWN TO INCLUDE 7 LOCATIONS AND OVER 70 PROGRAM SITES---THROUGHOUT OUR REGION. BECAUSE THE YMCA IS NOT ABOUT A BUILDING, WE DELIVER SERVICES TO SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, PARKS, LIBRARIES, HOSPITALS, PARKING-LOTS AND EVEN IN REMOTE VILLAGES IN GUATEMALA--- THE YMCA IS A MOVEMENT THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO A PLACE OR SITE--- FOLLOWING THE LEAD OF OUR PREDECESSORS WE GO WHERE THE CHALLENGES ARE, WHERE PEOPLE GATHER, WHERE SPIRITS, MINDS, AND BODIES CAN BE STRENGTHENED.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
THEIR FACE IN THE WATER FOR THE FIRST TIME WHILE BLOWING BUBBLES--- AND ABOUT 350 YOUNG PEOPLE STAYED WITH US AFTER SCHOOL AS THEIR PARENTS MADE THEIR WAY HOME FROM WORK. DURING THE SUMMERTIME, 1,500 YOUTH JOINED US AS WE MADE CRAFTS, SANG SONGS, TOOK FIELD-TRIPS, AND LEARNED HOW TO BE CARING, HONEST, RESPECTFUL, AND RESPONSIBLE. FOR SOME STUDENTS, OUR HELP WAS MORE BASIC AND SIGNIFICANTLY TRANSFORMATIONAL. FACING THE PROSPECT OF FAILING SCHOOL, FAMILIES TURNED TO THE Y FOR HELP WITH MATH, SCIENCE, AND ENGLISH HOMEWORK. AT A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL, THE YMCA HELPED MAKE A WAY FOR THE DREAM OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION TAKE ROOT. THESE AND MANY OTHER PROGRAMS SET THE STAGE FOR REDIRECTING AND AFFIRMING A "CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO" EVEN WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH. YMCA, LOCAL CHURCH JOIN FORCES TO HELP NEEDY WITH A TUTORING COLLABORATION BY DANIEL KELLY-BELLEVILLE NEWS DEMOCRAT THE YMCA OF SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS (YMCA) AND LOCAL VOLUNTEERS WITH THE UNITED CHURCHES OF THE METRO EAST (UCM) HAVE BEEN SURVEYING RESIDENTS WITHIN A FEDERALLY SUBSIDIZED HOUSING LOCATED IN O'FALLON, ILLINOIS. THE GROUPS ARE TRYING TO LEARN WAYS TO HELP RESIDENTS IN THAT LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOOD AND OTHERS THROUGH THE QUALITY OF LIFE SURVEY AND, YMCAEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, JARED BEARD SAID. "IT'S FACE TO FACE WITH THE USUALLY TWO INTERVIEWERS GOING INTO HOMES AND BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE PEOPLE, AND FINDING OUT WHAT THEIR INTERESTS ARE AND WHAT NEEDS THEY HAVE," BEARD SAID. "WE USE IT AS A TOOL, TO FIND OUT WHAT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE AND BASED OUR PROGRAMS AROUND THEM." THE YMCA INTITIATED THE SURVEY AND UCM JOINED THE EFFORT BECAUSE THEIR GOALS HAD A "COMMON GROUND," UCM VOLUNTEER SHERYL SOMMER SAID. "WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS," SOMMER SAID. "RELATIONSHIPS ARE SO KEY IN BUILDING A COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF BEING ISOLATED. THAT IS HOW WE GET MYTHS ABOUT THOSE DIFFERENT FROM US IN LOWER INCOME STATUSES." BEARD SAID THE EFFORT WAS PART OF THE YMCA'S OVERARCHING EMPHASIS UPON BUILDING LOCAL OUTREACH COMMUNITY PROGRAMS.
SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B
BERCOME PART OF OUR CULTURE; WE DO THIS BY ENCOURAGING VISITS TO OUR FACILITIES---WE HAD OVER 1 MILLION LAST YEAR---AND BY ASKING OUR MEMBERS TO "DO LIFE TOGETHER" AS THEY COMPLETE A WELLNESS JOURNEY. NEARLY 4,300INDIVIDUALS JOINED A SMALL GROUP TO HELP MEET HEALTH AND WELLNESS GOALS THAT INCLUDED ITEMS NOT NECESSARILY FOCUSED ON PHYSICAL HEALTH. WE ENCOURAGED THEM TO READ, MEETING OTHERS, SERVE, AND SHARE THEIR JOURNEY--- OUR HOPE IS THAT WE COULD TAP INTO THEIR INTERNAL MOTIVATORS--- RESULTING IN A STRONGER: SPIRIT, MIND, AND BODY. ROSS IN 2007 WE HAD A YOUNG GENTLEMAN, IN HIS 30S NAMED ROSS, WALK INTO OUT DOORS AT THE O'FALLON YMCA. ROSS HAD BEEN STRUGGLING WITH SEVERE LUNG DAMAGE FROM WORKING CONSTRUCTION AND WAS IN NEED OF A LUNG TRANSPLANT. HE WAS NOT HEALTHY ENOUGH TO WORK AND HE WAS 150 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT. HIS DOCTORS TOLD HIM THAT HE WOULD NEED TO LOSE THE WEIGHT IN ORDER TO BE PUT ON THE DONOR LIST. THAT IS WHEN HE FOUND THE Y AND SOME HELP FROM OUR FINANCIAL ASSISSTANCE PROGRAM. THROUGH OUR COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WITH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, ROSS WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE LIVELY LUNGS PROGRAM (A LUNG REHABILITATION GROUP) AND USE THE FACILITIES AT THE Y. EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY (WHEN WELL ENOUGH) HE WOULD COME IN TO THE O'FALLON Y TO RECIEVE TREATMENT FROM THE AMAZING MEMORIAL TEAM. HE ALSO CONNECTED WITH MANY STAFF MEMBERS FOR GUIDANCE ON HOW BEST TO LOSE THE WEIGHT IN A HEALTHY WAY. ROSS AND I HAD COUNTLESS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HIS PROGRESS AND HIS LIFE IN GENERAL. HE IS AN AMAZING SOUL AND I FEEL LUCKY TO KNOW HIM. ROSS LOST HIS 150 POUNDS AND HE WAS PUT ON THE DONOR LIST MARCH 20, 2012. I AM SO HAPPY TO SAY, HE RECEIVED A NEW SET OF LUNGS MARCH 22, 2012 HE IS ALREADY BACK AT THE Y CONTINUING TO IMPROVE HIS HEALTH AND WELL-BEING HE IS VERY EXCITED TO EVENTUALLY BEGIN WORKING AGAIN AND GOING HUNTING WITH HIS SON AS HE DID BEFORE. THIS IS TRULY A LIFE THAT HAS BEEN CHANGED WITH THE HELP OF Y SUPPORTERS IN OUR AMAZING COMMUNITY.
