Overview

Mission

The northfield area family ymca builds strong kids, strong families and strong communitities by supporting youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

What it reported doing in 2025

Youth development: our programs nurture the potential of all youth and teens. We create programming that responds to the emerging opportunities to better serve youth in our community. We offer support, empowerment, expectation and constructive use of time. We foster a commitment to learning, positive values, social competencies and self confidence to inspire future success for all our neighborhood. Hundreds of children participated in swim lessons, summer camp programs, youth in government, youth sports programs, child watch, middle school activity nights, intramural programs, homework help, and birthday parties. In partnership with local non-profits the ymca has established a transportation co-op that provides transportation to local non-profit groups serving youth to ensure transportation barriers are removed and youth can participate in life-changing programs and activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 88% 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

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.
