What it reported doing in 2025

Youth development: youth development or nurturing the development of every child and teen means we believe that all children deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and to foster growth and development of not only the child but also the family. That is why we help young people cultivate the skills, values and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and education achievement. The greater green bay ymca has many programs for the youth division that offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. Expenses include subsidies and financial assistance to make sure participation is possible for those with a financial need. In 2025, $278,071 in financial assistance was provided to 5,753 participants. The ymca continued to partner with brown county's largest school district as a community-based provider of afterschool programs that address the academic achievement gap in schools serving a majority of students who are eligible for the free and reduced lunch program, while also offering enrichment programs that complement robust full-day summer school programs in 2025.the ymca has worked alongside local school districts to integrate literacy and social emotional learning into our youth programs and out-of-school time enrichment offerings. Our youth outreach department supports high school graduation rates in brown county through the y achievers mentorship program, supporting middle school youth along their educational and career pathways. In 2025, this program continued to grow, serving 685 youth from 12 schools, and has multiple community partners who work with the program. Additionally, at a time where civic engagement is so needed, the ymca provides a youth in government program to teach middle and high school youth about the various dimensions of government and advocacy. There are 191 students from 10 schools that participate in this program. Additionally, we have embedded social emotional and academic resources into our out-of-school time offerings at five of our ymcas, camps and afterschool programs.education, encouragement, and modeling healthy behavior are important and necessary for the ymca to facilitate lifestyle changes in youth.

We also strengthened community engagement through enhanced partnerships with the green bay blizzard, the green bay rugby club, and the university of wisconsingreen bay athletics, offering collaborative sports clinics and educational resources. In addition to our traditional ymca offerings, we expanded programming to include egaming at multiple locations to support mental wellness, strengthen social connectedness, and broaden our reach to youth in the community.
