Overview

Mission

The chapel hill-carrboro ymca is a charitable, community service organization that includes men, women, and children of all ages, abilities, incomes, races and religions. We are dedicated to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities by putting christian principals into practice through programs that promote healthy lifestyles, strong values, leadership development, community interaction and international understanding. All persons are welcome at our ymca, regardless of their ability to pay. Our ymca is founded and led by volunteers from our community. Volunteers also serve as mentors, coaches, program leaders, instructors and more. Helping the people of all ages and abilities develop health in spirit, mind and body is at the core of the ymca movement.

What it reported doing in 2013

Ymca after school program: in today's environment there are fewer and fewer families that can survive on a one parent income. Many of those families that do, do so because there is only one parent in the family. More than ever before, our community is in need of a place where parents can feel safe to leave their children during the after school hours. Everyday our ymca transports 250 children from school to the ymca for a variety of safe and enriching program options. 500 children are in after school programs at 13 different sites in chatham county. Children of ages five to fifteen from homes and communities of all backgrounds, ethnicities and income levels come to the ymca to learn and play together while focusing on the four core values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility. Three lower income communities are specifically targeted for this program by providing transportation both to the ymca and back home to the community at the end of the day. The $65,451 in subsidy given out to participants shows the need for such a program as well as the commitment of our ymca to meet that need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
