Overview

Mission

Core programs include the following: (1) aquatic programs, (2) health and fitness programs, (3) childcare programs, and (4) teen programs and youth sports activities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Health and wellness for youth and adults - helping people of all ages and abilities to develop health in spirit, mind and body is at the core of the beaver county ymca movement. The 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. The beaver county ymca "water arthritis class" is an aquatic program that helps to keep seniors active and flexible; the parent/child and preschool swim programs help to develop physical skills in participants from age six months to five years old; the family swim program offers adults and children shared time in the pool to appreciate one another and to help promote intergenerational relationships. Beaver county ymca 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. In light of the rising obesity rates in this country, the beaver county 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.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 81% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
