| PART III - LINE 1 | Since 1914, the YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF RYE, NEW YORK (THE "Rye Y") has served the health/wellness, social, and recreational needs of children, adults, and families in the communities of Rye, Harrison, Larchmont, Mamaroneck and Port Chester. Our primary cause is to strengthen the foundation of community through a focus on three areas: youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. At the Rye Y, no one is turned away because of an inability to pay. Thanks to the generosity of donors, fundraising special events, grants, foundations, and hundreds of volunteers, the Rye Y proudly delivers free, subsidized or sponsored programs and services to thousands of Sound Shore residents each year, ensuring the availability of the Rye Ys benefits to those most in need. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. We believe that lasting personal and social change can come about only when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors. |
| PART III - LINE 4A | YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: The Rye Y's youth development programs including summer camp, pre-school movement, youth sports and teen activity initiatives focus on developing the whole child in spirit, mind and body. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Our goal is to help youth cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. And, because they learn from our role models, we know that they will one day become role models for others. From the first Mommy and Me classes to the Teen Leadership Club, the Rye Y is making an impact on children of all ages. And thanks to our Y Cares PROGRAM, we are able to provide scholarships, subsidies and financial assistance to children and families who would not otherwise be able to enjoy all that the Rye Y offers. In 2014, the Rye Y helped youth unlock their potential in a variety of ways: - Over 1,200 children and teens learned new skills, made friends and grew in confidence at the Rye Y's summer camp. In addition to the traditional camp experience, the Rye Y offered one-week sessions for those interested in fine arts and LEGO, gymnastics, sports and adventure trips. - In 2014, we continued to celebrate achievement at Discovery Camp through our bead program. Every time children learned a new skill or accomplished a task, they earned a bead for their camp necklace. To stem summer learning loss, we introduced journaling. Each camper received a journal and time was devoted each day to writing (or drawing if too young for writing). - When school's out, the fun begins! Children aged five to eleven filled 600 slots in the Rye Y's basketball, soccer and gymnastics camps during school holidays and vacations. - The Rye Y's Leaders' and Junior Leaders' Clubs offer young adults the opportunity to create positive change and implement creative ideas in service to the Rye Y and their community. The Rye Y has three Leaders Clubs: one for Rye High School students, one for Rye Middle School students, and a third for teens from Mamaroneck High School. - From Baby and Me to youth basketball, the Rye Y offered more than 2,100 sports sessions for kids of all ages. Babies, youth and teens also tumbled and flipped their way through nearly 2,500 gymnastics sessions, including team training. - The Rye Y's gymnastics team made us proud throughout the year. WE HAD 52 GIRLS IN LEVELS 3 THROUGH 8 COMPLETE SUCCESSFULLY IN LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL GYMNASTICS COMPETITIONS. - More than 4,000 students at seven elementary schools in Rye, Rye Neck and Mamaroneck learned that fitness is fun during active, structured recess sessions supervised by our sports department. Thanks to a grant from United Way of Westchester and Putnam, we were able to offer the School Recess Program to Mamaroneck Avenue Elementary School free of charge. - Teens and tweens need safe places, caring adults and positive activities. On most Saturday nights between January and June, the Rye Y opened its doors exclusively for 6th, 7th and 8th graders. Middle schoolers were invited to play sports in the gym, use the Family (Game) Room, hang out with friends or engage in special fun activities. An average of 30 teens and tweens participated each week. In September, the Rye Y continued Middle School Nights, now called Second Saturdays, on a monthly basis. - The Rye Y also hosted two Boys Night In events, one Girls Night In and one Kids Nights In for children aged five to eleven, with games, crafts, swimming and healthy dinners. - In late 2014, a new space, designed for and by students, opened at Mamaroneck High School. The Tiger's Den gives students a supervised place to relax, meet with friends, play games and enjoy special programming around health and wellness. A Rye Y staff person joins the teens in the Den every Friday, to provide supervision and lead activities. - An estimated 3,300 students walked to schools in Rye, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Port Chester and Harrison, during Walk to School Weeks in the spring and fall. Part of the Rye Y's Safe Routes to School initiative, these events showed families that walking to school can be a fun, healthy and earth-friendly alternative to driving. |
| PART III - LINE 4B | HEALTHY LIVING: the Rye Y is a leader for health and well-being, bringing families closer together, encouraging good health and fostering connections through WELLNESS, sports, fun and shared interests. We strive to help people of all ages and abilities develop a healthy spirit, mind and body. The YMCA works across the entire spectrum of health and wellness including primary prevention, which promotes well-being for everyone; secondary prevention, which aims to reduce risk from chronic diseases such as diabetes; and tertiary prevention, which helps people with a particular condition or disease reclaim their health. Our primary prevention programs are at the core of what we do. They are designed to help people set realistic goals for self-improvement through regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress management and health education. In 2014, the Rye Y also focused on secondary prevention, through the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program, and tertiary prevention for cancer survivors through LIVESTRONG at the YMCA. In addition, we have expanded our outreach initiatives to engage members and non-members in a variety of events and community activities designed to promote a more active lifestyle and healthier eating habits. The Rye Y is committed to keeping its programs and services open to all families, regardless of economic circumstance. Thanks to our Rye Y Cares fund, we are able to provide scholarships, subsidies and financial assistance to children and families who would not otherwise be able to enjoy all that the Rye Y offers. In 2014, we supported the health of our members and the communities we serve in the following ways: - 94 cancer survivors found support through LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, a free 12-week small group program that helps them reclaim their total health. Program participants built strength, endurance, and flexibility in a supportive environment. Most importantly, they connected with others who get it-the fear, the side effects of treatment, the hope, and the recovery. - In October 2014, we held the Third Annual LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Day. Over 70 LIVESTRONG at the YMCA alumni and staff gathered for fitness, food and fellowship. This year's event featured interactive workshops that focused on holistic healing and a talk by Patty Chang Anker, author of "Some Nerve: Lessons Learned While Becoming Brave." - The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program continued to change lives as adults who were at risk of developing type 2 diabetes lost weight, increased their physical activity and developed new healthy habits that will last a lifetime. In 2014, 19 adults completed the 16 core sessions of the program. And thanks to a partnership with Open Door Family Medical Centers in Port Chester, two of the four classes were offered in Spanish at Open Door. - In November, the Rye Y held a training session to certify 9 community partners and 2 Y staff as Health Empowerment Coaches. These newly-certified coaches will help the Y implement the HealthSmart Behavior Program, a nationally-recognized program to help low-income families develop healthier lifestyles. - The Rye Y continued to lead Healthier Port Chester and Healthier Mamaroneck, two coalition-driven initiatives to promote general health and wellness and reduce chronic disease for African-American and Latinos living in these Sound Shore communities. Working with local partners, including Open Door Family Medical Centers, the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Hispanic Resource Center, clergy and schools, we: - Trained bilingual lifestyle coaches to lead the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program at Open Door in Port Chester - Hired two "promotoras"- bilingual community health workers who reached out to individuals and organizations about healthy eating, physical activity and chronic disease prevention. - Teamed up with the Hispanic Resource Center, Open Door Family Medical Centers and other community partners to host the Access to Care Fair in Mamaroneck. An estimated 200 people were screened, free of charge, for everything from high blood pressure to breast cancer and left with vital information about health and wellness. - In November, more than 55 faith leaders, elected officials, health insurers and representatives from non-profit organizations gathered at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Port Chester to share inspiring stories and presentations on successful practices of faith-based wellness programs. The "Interfaith Wellness Conference" was sponsored by Healthier Port Chester and Healthier Mamaroneck. - Continued our partnership with Greenwich Hospital, through which we brought a visiting nurse to the Rye Y once a week to conduct blood pressure checks free of charge for community members. - Every week, 1,500 teens and adults grew stronger and more flexible in OVER 65 group exercise classes. - The Y's continued collaboration with Wainwright House, a local spiritual center, allowed us to offer spirit/mind programming, including several forms of yoga and Pilates. - We formed groups that foster camaraderie and confidence. In 2014, the TRIBE, a women's triathlon training circle, included 56 women ranging in age from 19 to 69. Many were attempting their first triathlon. Their sense of accomplishment after completing the Iron Girl Triathlon in Sandy Hook, NJ will stay with them for the rest of their lives. - We introduced Enhance Fitness, an evidence-based fitness program designed to help seniors tackle arthritis. Eighty older adults participated in Enhance Fitness classes during this first year. - In May, the Rye Y celebrated older adults through our annual Senior Fitness Day, which was held on the same day at the Y and Osborn Home in Rye. Approximately 90 seniors enjoyed a healthy lunch and sampled several classes, including Zumba, Yoga & Breathing, Enhance Fitness, Tai Chi and a "Broadway Music: High Top Hat" exercise activity. Senior Fitness Day was free and open to the public. - At the Rye Y, senior citizens also took advantage of free fitness classes offered five days a week; a Senior Spirit class that featured yoga, stretching and relaxation; and weekly free swim, offered free of charge. Rye Y instructors also brought wellness opportunities to Rye Manor, where seniors in this middle income housing enjoyed a weekly fitness class, and to Osborn Home, a retirement community for independent older adults. At Osborn, we offered 12 classes weekly, with average of 120 people participating per week. |
| PART III - LINE 4C | AQUATICS SAFETY AND INSTRUCTION: Every day the Rye Y's two pools are filled almost continuously with adults swimming laps, seniors in Aquacize classes, families playing and children learning new skills. The aquatics program at the Rye Y emphasizes swim competency, an important life skill, and basic water safety. We believe that both can be learned at any stage of life, from infancy (6+ months) to youth to the senior years. We focus on teaching the basic techniques of swimming-refining and improving those skills for team competition-and specialized skills such as life guarding and CPR. The results of these programs are increased confidence in the water, team building, and a lifelong fitness activity for young and old. We also offer free pool time for families, other non-profit organizations and children with special needs as a way to strengthen family ties and build community relationships. The Rye Y is committed to keeping its programs and services open to all families, regardless of economic circumstance. Thanks to our Rye Y Cares fund, we are able to provide scholarships, subsidies and financial assistance to children and families who would not otherwise be able to enjoy all that the Rye Y offers. Through our Aquatics program: - Hundreds of kids learned to swim or strengthened their skills. More than 1,000 swim sessions were offered every week! - Approximately 165 children and teens developed their skills, formed new friendships, and experienced the thrill of competition as part of the Wave Ryeders swim team. Another 60 young people trained for competitive swimming on our pre and practice swim teams and 90 participated in the spring conditioning classes. To cap the season on a high note, the swim team clinched the Westchester-Fairfield League Championship in March for the 9th consecutive year. - We opened our pool to families with special needs children every Sunday morning. During this free, recreational swim for community members, a Rye Y facilitator assisted with helpful tips and water games. - We provided free swim lessons to members of the TRIBE, a women's triathlon training group. - The Rye Y continued to provide free pool time to community groups, including the Rye Association for the Handicapped two days per week and the Lymphoma Society Triathlon Team, whose members train for various fundraisers in our pool. - We fostered a safer community by offering classes year round in health and safety, such as CPR, lifeguarding and babysitting. - The Rye Y offered one free week of swim lessons for children during "Learn to Swim Week". - Provided free adult swim assessments throughout the year. |
| PART III - LINE 4D | OTHER PROGRAMS: STRENGTHENING FAMILY TIES: With parents and children on the run, often in different directions, the Rye Y gives families a chance to re-connect through fun intergenerational programs and activities. Family bonds are essential to individual and community health, and the Rye Y is deeply committed to supporting families of all forms. Our wide range of child-focused programs strengthens family ties, promotes social and cognitive development, and fosters personal enrichment. And when families can't be together, we offer safe, affordable programs and services that give working parents peace of mind and kids a rich, nurturing child care experience. Recognizing that a parent's job is more than just 9-5, the Rye Y offers morning babysitting, an after school program, summer camp and school holiday vacation camps. The Rye Y is committed to keeping its programs and services open to all families, regardless of economic circumstance. Thanks to our Rye Y Cares fund, we are able to provide scholarships, subsidies and financial assistance to children and families who would not otherwise be able to enjoy all that the Y offers. In 2014, the Rye Y supported families in the following ways: - Sixty students played and learned at After School Adventures (ASA) and Kindertime, the Rye Y's licensed school-age child care programs. As part of the Rye Y's commitment to national Healthy Eating and Physical Activity (HEPA) standards, ASA and Kindertime staff offered the children a different exotic fruit each week to broaden their taste for healthy foods. We also hosted a Zumba Night where everyone including staff, students and family members participated. - The Rye Y provided over 14,000 child watch (babysitting) sessions during 2014, allowing busy parents time to pursue their own health and wellness goals while at the YMCA. - Hundreds of adults and children of all ages celebrated holidays and our Centennial at special events designed especially for families. In October, it was spooky fun when we transformed our gym and common areas into a Halloween carnival. In December, who should arrive at the Rye Y but Santa Claus! And our year-long Centennial party wouldn't have been complete without the participation of families, first at a Harlem Ambassadors basketball game at Mamaroneck High School and later in the year at a community Scavenger Hunt. - Adventure Guides involved 81 dads (or favorite male role models) and kids in fun activities designed to strengthen family bonds. "Tribes" gathered monthly for meetings, hiking, sporting events and more. A highlight of the year was the 2nd annual overnight trip to Camp Greenkill in the Catskills, where fathers and children paddled on the lake, hiked in the woods, and played indoor games. - Thirty families took to the high seas (a.k.a. Pa Cope pool) in boats of all shapes, sizes and degrees of seaworthiness during the first annual Cardboard Boat Regatta. While most of the homemade boats (made entirely of cardboard and duct tape) were crewed by kids, a few parents squeezed in with their children, in a valiant effort to paddle across the pool. - Introduced in the fall of 2014, First Family Fridays brought families with young children together for monthly themed activities at the Rye Y. Social Responsibility: For over 100 years, the Rye Y has been a hub of community life and a catalyst for positive change. Every day, our mission takes us outside the walls of the Rye Y, into schools, senior centers, town halls, local businesses and houses of worship. We support edible gardens, pedestrian safety, and school wellness programs. We offer members of all ages the opportunity to make a difference through community service. We bring hope to cancer survivors and help at-risk adults face chronic disease head-on. We do all this and so much more while keeping a powerful promise: no-one will be turned away from a Rye Y program or activity because he or she can't pay. From the partnerships that foster strong communities to the small group programs that promote health and well-being, the spirit of social responsibility infuses every aspect of our work. In 2014, we demonstrated our commitment to social responsibility through the following: - Through our Rye Y Cares program, we awarded nearly $564,000 in program subsidies to families and individuals who needed a helping hand. - In March, the Rye Y, in partnership with Jay Heritage Center, sponsored Seeds to Schools, a school gardens workshop. More than 60 teachers, school administrators, parent volunteers, business owners and representatives of non-profit organizations shared their experiences about starting and sustaining school-based edible gardens. - Also in March, the Rye Y brought a Safe Routes to School workshop to the Port Chester Middle School. Attended by a broad cross section of the community and led by a consultant from Alta Planning + Design, the workshop resulted in the formation of a Safe Routes to School Committee that will explore ways to make walking safer for students at all Port Chester schools. - We supported Walk to School Weeks, providing resources, advice and assistance to schools throughout our service area. In Rye, we convened meetings of municipal and school officials and community advocates to review pedestrian safety projects. And, we sponsored "Heads Up," a poster contest that involved 74 Rye High School students in thinking about the dangers of distracted walking and driving. - The Rye Y brought together parent volunteers who serve on their schools' Wellness Committees for information-sharing and support. The Rye Y coordinates these meetings, which involve representatives from Rye, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Harrison, and Rye Neck, and have featured special guest speakers. We also participate in an annual series of "Crunchy Carnivals," family wellness nights held at Larchmont and Mamaroneck schools. - Our Healthier Sound Shore Coalition sponsored two panel discussions; the first, on the critical issues facing today's teens, played a role in the subsequent formation of a Rye substance abuse prevention coalition. The second panel, held in October, gave us all a sobering glimpse into the scope and face of hunger in Westchester County, and how we can help. - In May, we launched Togetherhood, a national YMCA social responsibility initiative that involves members in community service. By year-end, we had formed a Service Committee of seven people and engaged dozens of other members in two projects: painting the walls and stairwells at St. Ignatius School in the Bronx and a children's clothing drive and day of service for The Sharing Shelf in Port Chester. |
