What it reported doing in 2025

Youth development: our ymca is committed to nurturing the god-given potential of every child and teen. We believe all kids have great potential and deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. 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 school age programs before and afterschool care, summer camp, leaders clubs, swim, sports & play, and others, offer a range of experiences that enrich social-emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. (continued on schedule o)throughout the school year, the ymca afterschool partnership with all four county school districts provides before and afterschool care to infant, toddler, pre-k, elementary, and middle school-age children residing in our service area. Ymca school-age care ensures that the time gaps before and after school are filled creatively and constructively. This program provides working parents with safe, educational, affordable, and high-quality supervision for their children. Our after-school programs focus on youth development for all communities with a holistic development approach. We operate in 65 schools that serve 6,011 children throughout the school year. Our ymca provides a quality curriculum using multiple partners for enrichment programs and evidence-based learning. All students enrolled in the after-school programs benefit from supplemental learning through activities, games, and fun and engaging projects. The ymca provided $449,000 in financial assistance to children enrolled in our before and after-school care programs in 2025. In all four counties, we provide literacy enrichment programming as part of our before and afterschool care. These programs give children access to books and encourage reading at least 90 minutes per week. The yreads program operates within two pinellas county elementary school and one citrus county elementary school, designated as lower-performing title 1 schools. The yreads program provides intensive small-group reading instruction with pre and post-tests to track gains. The juvenile welfare board of pinellas county (jwb) continued to provide substantial funding to the promise time program to serve children with financial needs at elementary school sites at no cost to them. In 2025, we provided the promise time program at eleven sites during the 2025-26 school year. The program offers tutors, school liaisons, and enrichment learning activities to connect the academic portions of the school day with the academic portions of the after-school program.
