| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 | COMING OFF THE HEELS OF THE UNPRECEDENTED YEAR THE WORLD EXPERIENCED IN 2020, 2021 WAS STILL ANOTHER CHALLENGING YEAR FOR OUR Y. DESPITE THAT, THE COMMITMENT AND RESOLVE OF OUR REMARKABLE TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS AND EMPLOYEES ENABLED US TO MOVE OUR MISSION FORWARD AS WE WORKED TO RECOVER FINANCIALLY AND GET BACK TO POSITIVELY IMPACTING THOUSANDS OF LIVES IN THE COMMUNITY. CERTAINLY, WE CONTINUED TO CLOSELY MONITOR AND FOLLOW PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDELINES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR STAFF AND THOSE WE SERVE. THANKFULLY, IN 2021 WE WERE ABLE TO RESUME MANY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES IN PERSON, BUT, WITH A RENEWED EMPHASIS ON COMMUNITY WORK IN RESPONSE TO THE GREATER DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES THAT AROSE FROM THE PANDEMIC. THIS INCLUDES PROGRAMS LIKE MATH AND READING LEARNING LABS, SAFETY AROUND WATER, THE YMCA DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM, STEAM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, THE ARTS, AND MATHEMATICS) INITIATIVES, AND OTHER SERVICES CRITICAL TO SO MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE ALSO CONTINUED WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE "OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL" CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, UNDERGOING RENOVATIONS TO FACILITIES IN KEY AREAS AIMED AT ADDRESSING ONGOING NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, HIGHLIGHTED WITH A RIBBON CUTTING AT THE EMERSON YMCA IN FERGUSON, MISSOURI.
