What it reported doing in 2025
Ymca child care and family life programs - our ymca is committed to nurturing the 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. That is why we help young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievements. Our ymca programs, such as preschool care, after school and summer camp offer a range of experiences that enrich social-emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for several of the young people we engage. Our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. We provided over 250,000 in financial assistance to people who otherwise may have not been able to afford to participate. The teaching curriculums in teddy bear academy preschool and the indiantown preschool prepare over 100 preschoolers for kindergarten. Physical and spiritual growth are encouraged in all of our youth programs through swimming, gymnastics, arts and crafts, music and the teaching of the ymca core values. The ymca also provides a safe and structured environment for over 500 children with its after school program in multiple locations. Assistance with homework, swimming and physical fitness are all part of this program. The ymca provided several children financial assistance. Ymca summer camps offer children a host of activities that provide new opportunities and learning experiences, field trips, guest speakers and socializing with other children to open their minds to new information and possibilities. Camp also provides participants opportunities to learn the importance of teamwork and strong leadership skills. Each week of camp has a set schedule and a host of physical activities including swimming and skating. The number of past campers who now wish to volunteer their time with the program highlights the positive impact ymca camp has on the lives of children in any given summer. Over 400 campers were served at the multiple ymca summer camp locations. Financial assistance is available in all child care programs. This means that all parents regardless of their financial situation have the security of accessing the same quality of childcare for their children of all ages. Our ymca believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We also recognize the importance of activities that involve the entire family. Many programs are specifically designed to promote this, such as healthy kids day, spaghetti dinner poolside, and parent/child swim classes. The ymca hosts halloween parades and thanksgiving stone soup luncheons that provide opportunities for parents and their children to be together as a family.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.

- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
