What it reported doing in 2025

Youth development - the ymca of greenwich is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why we help young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Our ymca programs, such as summer camp, childcare, competitive swimming, diving and water polo, swim lessons and youth sports, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for the young people we engage. In 2025, we provided $250,110 in financial assistance to young people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate. In addition to providing much needed care for working families, the y assisted in preparing each of these children for kindergarten.
