Overview
Mission
The state ymca of Pennsylvania is a charitable, community service organization that includes men, women, and children of all ages, abilities, incomes, races and religions. The organization is dedicated to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities by putting christian principles 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. The organization is founded and led by volunteers from the community who also serve as mentors, program leaders, instructors, and more.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why we help young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our ymca programs, such as youth & government, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth through hands on learning and servant leadership. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for the 600 young people we engage from across the commonwealth. Each year more than 600 teens participate in the election of their peers to run a model legislative session in the state capital building each spring. Our events are staffed by more than 100 adult volunteers at high schools across the commonwealth where our teens work year round to grow as citizens and servant leaders.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
