Youth development the y is committed to nurturing and serving every child in our community and the surrounding area. Programs included in youth development are: nrg zone, a school year after school program focusing upon homework help, social interaction, healthy nutrition and physical activity, summer day camp, child watch- free drop in child care, and a wide range of youth sports programs. Values and character traits such as caring, honesty, respect and responsibility are at the foundation of each of our programs. We also teach and model sportsmanship, integrity, and positive relationships in all we do. The y exists to empower and help any child who comes through our doors. 3. Social responsibility our ymca believes in giving back to our community. We do that by providing assistance and support to those in our community who for whatever reason could not afford to participate in programs or purchase a y membership. We have ongoing collaborative partnerships with the three local school systems and community college, social service agencies and united way agencies, churches, and other community focused entities. Volunteers and community service workers are a key component to the work we do and to our on going success. Public and community events such as healthy kid day and our annual health fair allow us to promote the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of the ymca to our community.

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% 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.

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
