FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
OVERALL GOAL OF BUILDING TOMORROW'S LEADERS IN SPIRIT, MIND, AND BODY. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING SPECIFIC SKILLS, THEY PROMOTE GOOD HEALTH THROUGH REGULAR EXERCISE AND LIFELONG SKILLS. THEY ALSO PROMOTE TEAMWORK, SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND LEADERSHIP. THESE PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED AT AFFORDABLE FEES TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE FULL FEE. SEVENTY (70) CHILDREN WERE TAUGHT TO SWIM THROUGH THE YMCA SPLASH PROGRAM, AS WELL AS OVER 140 PARENTS RECEIVED SWIM SAFETY TRAINING FOR THEIR CHILDREN WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM. THEY WERE ALSO TAUGHT ABOUT SAFETY IN AND AROUND THE WATER IN THIS FREE ANNUAL PROGRAM, WHICH IS OFFERED TO THE COMMUNITY RIGHT BEFORE THE START OF SUMMER. THIS PROGRAM IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN OUR YMCA AND A COMMUNITY SERVICE CLUB. THIS PROGRAM IS OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE TO ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY. DAY CAMP OFFERS ADVENTURE AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES THAT PROVIDE CHALLENGE, EDUCATION, SPIRITUAL AWARENESS, MENTAL DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL WELL BEING, SOCIAL GROWTH, AND SELF-RESPECT. OUR CAMP PROVIDES A REVERENCE FOR NATURE AND RESPECT FOR THE INTER-RELATEDNESS OF ALL LIVING THINGS ON EARTH. CAMP IS OPEN TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF INCOME OR SPECIAL NEEDS, SO THAT CHILDREN APPRECIATE DIVERSITY, BECOME COMMUNITY LEADERS AND DEVELOP LIFELONG VALUES. THROUGH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, WE SERVED 38 CHILDREN AND PROVIDED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF 17,256. SERVING TEENS AND YOUTH IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE YMCA MISSION.

LAST YEAR, 50 YOUTH AND TEENS PARTICIPATED IN ACTIVITIES TO DEVELOP THEIR SPIRITS, MINDS, AND BODIES, FREE OF CHARGE.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B
HELPING PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES DEVELOP HEALTH IN SPIRIT, MIND, AND BODY IS AT THE CORE OF THE YMCA MOVEMENT. OUR PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE CREATE REALISTIC GOALS FOR SELF-IMPROVEMENT AND EMPHASIZE DISEASE PREVENTION THROUGH REGULAR EXERCISE, PROPER NUTRITION, STRESS MANAGEMENT, AND HEALTH EDUCATION. SPORTS PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH, FAMILIES, AND ADULTS PROMOTE TEAMWORK, INTERACTION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL SKILLS. OUR PACE CLASS IS AN AQUATICS PROGRAM THAT KEEPS SENIORS ACTIVE AND FLEXIBLE; OUR PRESCHOOL SPORTS PROGRAMS HELP TO DEVELOP PHYSICAL SKILLS IN TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOLERS; OUR FAMILY SWIM TIME GIVES ADULTS AND CHILDREN SHARED TIME IN THE POOL TO APPRECIATE ONE ANOTHER AND PROMOTE INTERGENERATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS. OUR SERVICES ARE OFFERED AT AFFORDABLE FEES FOR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, WITH REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THOSE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, AND WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE FULL FEE. MEMBERS CAN PARTICIPATE IN MOST ADULT HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS FREE OF ADDITIONAL FEES. OUR YMCA OFFERS PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE TOTAL WELLNESS OF INDIVIDUALS, THROUGH GROUP SUPPORT AND INCENTIVES THAT WILL GIVE THEM THE TOOLS NEEDED TO MAKE PERMANENT LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR THE BETTER. THESE PROGRAMS TEAM UP MEMBERS AND PARTICIPANTS WITH OTHERS TO GIVE THEM ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT. THE YMCA IS A MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION AND THE COMBINATION OF INDIVIDUALS IN A COMMON ORGANIZATION PROVIDES STRUCTURE AND STRENGTH. AS A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION, YMCA MEMBERS SERVE ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND RELATED COMMITTEES. MEMBERS ALSO PROVIDE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM LEADERSHIP. THROUGH THE BOARD, MEMBERS DETERMINE THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF SERVICES, FACILITIES, AND LEADERSHIP, AND ASSESS THEMSELVES DUES TO PROVIDE FOR THESE THINGS. THE YMCA PARTICIPATES IN A LONG RANGE PLANNING PROCESS TO DETERMINE THE DIRECTION OF ITS PROGRAMMING, AND ALL ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN ARE TESTED AGAINST THE MISSION TO DETERMINE IF THEY CONTRIBUTE TO OUR PURPOSE. THIS PLAN IS APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. MEMBERS ARE ALSO ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE FINANCIALLY TO THE YMCA. EACH YEAR, WE STRIVE TO RAISE FUNDS THROUGH AN ANNUAL SUPPORT CAMPAIGN TO HELP OFFSET THE COST OF MEMBERSHIPS AND PROGRAMS TO THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY THE FULL MEMBERSHIP FEES. IN SUPPORT OF OUR EXEMPTION, THE YMCA IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEMBERSHIP PROGRAMS AND CHILD CARE TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY. THIS IS IN SHARP CONTRAST TO THOSE WHO PROVIDE FITNESS SERVICES IN PRIVATE, FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE YMCA PROVIDES SPACE FOR OTHER NON-PROFIT AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO UTILIZE SPACE IN THE YMCA AT LITTLE OR NO-COST. THIS TYPE OF ACCESS HELPS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS FACE BROADER COMMUNITY PROBLEMS. THE YMCA PROVIDED 6,000 WORTH OF SPACE TO OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS LAST YEAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE YMCA DONATED 2,965 WORTH OF YMCA GUEST PASSES AND MERCHANDISE TO VARIOUS COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, SCHOOLS, AND FUNDRAISERS. LAST YEAR, WE PROVIDED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO 1,292 INDIVIDUALS, AWARDING 77,528 IN MEMBERSHIP ASSISTANCE, AND 14,500 TO 302 INDIVIDUALS FOR PROGRAM ASSISTANCE, SCHOOL WALKING PROGRAM, AND OUTREACH TO UNDERSTAND COMMUNITY THROUGH PROGRAMS. WE HAVE A MEMBERSHIP BASE OF APPROXIMATELY 4,500 INDIVIDUALS. LAST YEAR, 10% OF OUR MEMBERSHIP BASE RECEIVED SOME FORM OF FINANCIAL HELP FOR MEMBERSHIP AND PROGRAMS, TOUCHING THE LIVES OF THOSE AFFECTED AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

STATE LICENSED CHILD CARE, WHICH PROVIDES A SAFE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOUTH CAN DEVELOP SELF-ESTEEM, GOOD VALUES AND AN APPRECIATION OF CHARITABLE SERVICE. WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF THE YMCA MISSION IS A COMMITMENT TO STRENGTHENING FAMILIES. OUR CHILDCARE PROGRAM INCLUDES COUNSELING OF TROUBLED YOUTH AND PARENTS, ASSISTING CHILD VICTIMS OF PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ABUSE, AND HELPING PARENTS LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW TO RAISE CHILDREN THAT ARE HAPPY AND HEALTHY IN SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY. LAST YEAR, WE SERVED 21 PARTICIPANTS WITH ASSISTANCE AND PROVIDED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF 12,120 IN OUR CHILD CARE PROGRAM. YMCA CHILD CARE PROGRAMS RELIEVE THE BURDEN OF BALANCING WORK AND FAMILY AND MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN IN OUR CARE TO REMAIN GAINFULLY EMPLOYED, KNOWING THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE THRIVING IN A SAFE, DEVELOPMENTALLY SOUND ENVIRONMENT. THE YMCA PROVIDES TUITION ASSISTANCE FOR CHILD CARE SERVICES. OVER 12,120 WAS AWARDED TO FAMILIES TO DEFRAY THEIR FEES THIS YEAR. IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDE AID TO FAMILIES WHO NEED HELP DUE TO FAMILY VIOLENCE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, ETC. BY COLLABORATING WITH OTHER SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES. WE ALSO PROVIDE A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES THAT EMPHASIZE PARENT EDUCATION AND HELP PARENTS LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW TO RAISE HEALTHY, HAPPY CHILDREN WHO DEVELOP SELF-ESTEEM AND MORAL AND ETHICAL VALUES. THE YMCA ALSO HOLDS SPECIAL FAMILY EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN TO COME TOGETHER TO ENJOY HEALTHY ACTIVITIES IN A SAFE ATMOSPHERE AND THE COMPANY OF OTHER FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. AT EACH FAMILY EVENT, OVER 50 FAMILIES PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO PROMOTE THE FAMILY UNIT, HEALTHY BEHAVIORS, SOCIAL ACTIVITIES, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN A FUN AND INVITING EVENT. ALL FAMILY EVENTS ARE OFFERED TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AT NO CHARGE. LAST YEAR, 840 CHILD CARE SCHOLARSHIP UNITS WERE GIVEN THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR, AND 456 CAMP SCHOLARSHIP UNITS WERE GIVEN FOR DAY CAMP DURING THE SUMMER. 38% OF OUR AFTER-SCHOOL CHILD CARE PROGRAM IS HELPED WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND 61% OF OUR DAY CAMPERS WERE ON SCHOLARSHIP AS WELL. IN LIGHT OF THE RISING OBESITY RATES IN THIS COUNTRY, OUR YMCA PARTICIPATES IN THE ACTIVATE AMERICA INITIATIVE AND ENGAGES IN A VARIETY OF EVENTS AND COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO HELP THE "AT RISK POPULATION" DEVELOP HABITS AND RELATIONSHIPS THAT LEAD TO MORE ACTIVE LIFESTYLES. ONE SUCH EVENT IS HEALTHY KIDS DAY, A FREE EVENT FOR THE COMMUNITY, COLLABORATING WITH MANY COMMUNITY HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION, SCREENINGS, AND ACTIVITIES THAT WILL IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR FAMILIES. THIS EVENT SERVES OVER 300 FAMILIES ANNUALLY.
