SINCE NO TWO COMMUNITIES ARE EXACTLY ALIKE, NO TWO YS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE. WE BRING MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND OUR SHARED COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITIES ENSURES THE OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN, GROW AND THRIVE THAT WE CREATE FOR ALL ARE ONES THAT ENDURE. WHILE OUR PROGRAMS AND FACILITIES ARE ALWAYS BASED ON THE UNIQUE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF OUR COMMUNITIES, EVERY Y HAS ONE THING IN COMMON: OUR PEOPLE. THE VOLUNTEERS, STAFF, MEMBERS AND DONORS OF THE Y ARE ALL UNITED BY A DEEP COMMITMENT TO STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITIES. EVERY Y IS CREATED BY THE COMMUNITY AND IS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, MADE UP OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR Y'S PLANNING AND POLICY DECISIONS, FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND THE MONITORING AND SANCTION OF ITS OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMS. THESE INDIVIDUALS RALLY BEHIND THE MISSION OF THE YMCA TO ENSURE THE Y REMAINS DEDICATED TO BUILDING HEALTHY, CONFIDENT, CONNECTED AND SECURE CHILDREN, ADULTS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. THEY DO THIS BY ATTENDING BOARD MEETINGS, SERVING ON/CHAIRING COMMITTEES, BEING WELL INFORMED OF POLICY MATTERS, ADVOCATING FOR THE YMCA IN THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, AND ASSURING THAT THE Y IS SOUND IN OPERATION.

IN 2013 OUR Y SERVED 35,000 CHILDREN AND ADULTS THROUGH THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS: -MEMBERSHIP -HEALTH AND WELL-BEING -PRESCHOOL CHILD CARE -RESIDENT CAMP -YOUTH SPORTS -AQUATICS -DAY CAMP -AFTER SCHOOL CARE KEY WAYS IN WHICH THE HEART OF THE VALLEY YMCA MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY IS BY AFFECTING THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS OF COMMUNITY LIFE: -WATER SAFETY - WE TEACH EVERY THIRD GRADER IN MADISON CITY AND THREE SCHOOLS IN HUNTSVILLE CITY SCHOOLS INTRODUCTORY WATER SAFETY AND SWIMMING AS A PART OF THEIR CURRICULUM. -EDUCATION - THE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM IS A CURRICULUM BASED PROGRAM. ALL THREE SITES ARE ALSO ALABAMA FIRST CLASS PRE-K PROGRAMS DESIGNATED BY THE ALABAMA OFFICE OF SCHOOL READINESS. -ECONOMIC WELL-BEING - THE Y HAS PROVIDED OVER 165,000 FOR 360 EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE BEEN LAID OFF AND FOR ACTIVE DUTY DEPLOYED MILITARY FAMILIES FOR PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS AND MEMBERSHIPS. THE YMCA EMPLOYS OVER 350 FULL AND PART TIME STAFF AIDING IN THE REDUCTION OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. AS A BUSY MOM JUGGLING CAREER AND FAMILY, BETH NEEDED A CHILD CARE PROVIDER TO WHOM SHE COULD TRUST HER YOUNG DAUGHTER. SHE HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD POOR EXPERIENCES WITH DIRECTORS AND OVERALL SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED IN NOT FINDING A STRONG EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT IN THE PROGRAMS SHE HAD LOOKED INTO. THAT IS UNTIL SHE CAME TO THE YMCA'S CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER. "OTHER CENTERS DIDN'T HAVE A LEARNING CURRICULUM OR MUCH STRUCTURE" BETH SAID, "BUT WHEN I VISITED THE YMCA PRESCHOOL, I FINALLY FELT I HAD FOUND THE RIGHT PLACE AND THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR MY BABY." BETH PRAISES THE STAFF AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER WITH PROVIDING A STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO LEARNING AND "BEING ON TOP OF THINGS". "ABBY HAS REALLY LEARNED A LOT IN THE SHORT TIME SHE HAS BEEN THERE AND I KNOW SHE LIKES HER TEACHER BECAUSE AS SOON AS WE ARRIVE SHE RUNS AND GIVES HER A HUG", BETH ADDED. AS ANY CONCERNED MOTHER WOULD DO, THE FIRST FEW DAYS SHE WOULD CALL AND CHECK IN ON HER DAUGHTER TO BE ASSURED THAT ABBY WAS SETTLING IN. BETH WENT ON TO SAY " I WAS VERY IMPRESSED BY HOW MUCH THE DIRECTOR KNEW ABOUT ABBY'S DAY AND I KNOW EACH MORNING WHEN I DROP HER OFF SHE IS BEING LOVED AND CARED FOR AND THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME." ALL KIDS DESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCOVER WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY CAN ACHIEVE. UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF ADULTS WHO CARE ABOUT THEM AND BELIEVE IN THEIR POTENTIAL WE SEE EVERY INTERACTION WITH YOUNG PEOPLE AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT. -HEALTH - THREE OF THE BEST FITNESS CENTERS IN THE AREA AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS, AN ON SITE ATHLETIC TRAINER, PERSONAL TRAINERS, AND 75 OF THE BEST TRAINED AND EDUCATED FITNESS PROFESSIONALS AROUND.
