Explanation
Program Accomplishments-Other Programs
In addition to physical programs, child care and camp, the Y serves the community in a variety of ways, most importantly through the Community Development programs, including the Achievers Program, which principally provide free or low cost educational and career support to minority teens and their families. Josephine, a Summit YMCA member and parent of a YMCA Achiever is grateful to the Y for partnering with her to nurture and develop his potential. This will be Chris third year in the Y Achievers Program. This year and next year are important years because he will either need to get a job or go to college. The thought of college is overwhelming for me as I am a single mother with a high school degree. But with the help of the Ys Achievers Program, Chris and I feel we are being guided through SAT/ACT prep, learning time management skills and setting and following through on goals. Chris is excited about the College Tour that the Y provides to universities like Georgia Tech, Clark, and Atlanta University among others. Achievers pushes my son to look forward to the future and it gives me more peace of mind that something will work out. In 2012, the Summit Area YMCA provided $1.2 million in direct financial assistance and direct and indirect program subsidies. Of this total, 38% supported youth and teen programs, 29% went to our child care programs, 10% to membership, 4% to camp, and 7% to community support helping other organizations.
Program Accomplishments-Summer Camp
The Summit Area YMCAs day camps are safe, exciting places for young people to explore the outdoors, build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills and make lasting friendships and memories. In 2012, we provided $49,520 in direct financial assistance to some of the 540 campers enrolled, to ensure they had the same experiences as other kids and that they too, benefitted from the nurturing development that happens every day in Y camp.
Program Accomplishments-Child Care.
We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. In addition, we believe that kids need a safe, nurturing environment in which to learn, grow and develop social skills and our child care programs, which care for 600 children ages six weeks to 12 years every day, provide just such an environment. In 2012, the Y provided $355,142 in direct financial assistance, enabling parents to go to work secure that their child (infants, toddlers, pre-school and elementary age school children) were being nurtured, developed and well cared for.Many of the children in our child care programs, particularly at The Learning Circle YMCA, which is a full-time child care center caring for children from six weeks to six years old, come from single-parent households, and many live at the poverty level. Here is Janets story:It was a blessing to find out that my child qualified for a scholarship to cover the tuition of the after school program. I am the only earning member of our family as my husband lost his job 5 months ago and hes still looking for work. The cost of any amount of quality childcare is a huge financial burden on a single income, and even more so when the parent who isnt working is the primary bread winner. I am so grateful that the Y provides a safe, nurturing and active environment for my child to learn and grow. The time and attention that the staff provide him from helping with his homework to simply playing a game of basketball with him is so much more than I am able to give him right now. When my family is back on its feet, we hope to be able to provide the same kind of support to others that members of the Y community gave to us.
Program Accomplishments-Phsical Programs
Physical Programs. The Summit Area YMCA is a leading voice on health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, thousands of youth, adults and families are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.Nancy, who has been a Berkeley Heights YMCA member for 6 years, is a great example of the kind of support the Y provides to those who seek to improve their health in spirit, mind and body. When my ten year old son missed 40 days of school last year due to his asthma, his doctor prescribed cardio exercise as a way to strengthen his lungs. In the nine months since we joined the Y, my son and I have come to the Y almost every day to get healthy. What a difference the Y has made to our lives as Chris has only missed two days of school since then, and I have not had to worry about missing a day of work to care for him. The Ys low pressure workout environment made me feel welcome and my path back to recovery from a recent surgery was easier because I was more fit from working out with Chris. Best of all, I love that the Y made a family membership affordable. Now all five members of my family have an opportunity to live healthy. The Y is also encouraging young people to develop and maintain healthy exercise and nutrition habits through the free, innovative 7th Grade Initiative Program. Started in 2008, to help teens successfully navigate a pivotal and transitional time in their lives, the program now serves 250 kids with a free membership, personalized demos for working out, and fun activities and opportunities for them to socialize with peers in a safe, supervised and conveniently located environment. The staff at the Y are dedicated to helping these teens, who are at a crossroads in their development, learn to make healthy choices.The Ys commitment to improving health in body, mind, and spirit is also seen in the experience of Andy, a Summit YMCA member and parent of a special needs child. He speaks specifically of his child learning to build skills and confidence and that as a result he has increased peace of mind.Near the water, every parent wants to feel assured that their child is safe and knows how to swim. It is of special concern for me since my 12-year-old is a special needs child. Weve tried lessons at two other pools, but he is most calm when he is at the Y and so we come here for his private weekly lesson. Quinn loves his swim instructor who praises his attitude and challenges him to take responsibility and commit to making more progress every time he comes. He intuitively feels his instructor cares. I saw something recently that said you can save a life by teaching a kid to swim. Thats why Im here.The Summit Area YMCA continues to demonstrate its commitment to ensure all people find community and connectedness, especially those families separated while defending our freedoms. Our YMCA participates in the YMCAs Military Outreach program, offering free memberships to 8 families and 28 adults (active duty personnel) and their families, giving them a place to come to relieve stress, make friends, and become healthier.
