Overview

Mission

To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

What it reported doing in 2025

Dryades YMCA provides year-round licensed Early Childhood Development programs designed to support the educational, social, emotional, and physical development of young children. The program offers a safe and nurturing environment where children build foundational academic skills, develop healthy relationships, strengthen self-confidence, and engage in learning opportunities through education, arts, technology, and healthy lifestyle activities. In addition, the program supports families through parenting education and resources aimed at strengthening family stability and child well-being.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

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 a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
