What it reported doing in 2017

Our ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child in our community. We believe that all children 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. The ymca child development center offers a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth for the children in our care. Ninety-nine percent of the children in our care receive subsidy for participation in the program.
