What it reported doing in 2024

This is accomplished through participation and leadership of communitywide collaborations activities, meetings, and events that are reflective of the local culture. In response to the growing gap in early childhood services, tri-town ymca implemented the villa park area early childhood collaborative to focus on the needs of children birth through eight years of age and their care circles. In addition, in response to the fallout of the pandemic and the mental health needs of youths and families, tri-town ymca launched a communitywide collaboration focused on providing programs and services that provide access to mental health counseling services and community education that supports each individual's total well-being - spirit, mind, and body. In 2024, the organization hired two new full-time parent navigators to support referral and coordination of programs that meet the basic needs of families.
