Overview

Mission

To build strong kids, strong families, & strong communities through programs that develop the whole person in spirit, mind, & body.

What it reported doing in 2025

Youth Programs at the Y include day camps, gardening programs, and many others. One program highlight is SummerBridge, a free summer academic and enrichment program devoted to increasing children's literacy and math skills and designed to help low-income children avoid summer learning loss. The Y partners with the local school district to deliver academic and social enrichment five days per week, for five weeks from June through July. SummerBridge also aims to strengthen each participant's self-confidence, self-esteem, social and emotional development, physical health and well-being. The summer learning model includes transportation to and from the program site, breakfast and lunch for the children, community exploring, literacy instruction, math instruction, enrichment courses and fun field trips. SummerBridge is one way the Y is working to bring meaningful change to our community. The local school district reported that SummerBridge students outperform their peers; the 4:1 educator-to-student ratio is a part of that.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
