What it reported doing in 2024

1 - youth development - our ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why, 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 our infant thru school-age child care, service learning, youth sports, youth swimming lessons and safety around the water week and day camp, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. The largest youth development program at the altru family ymca is our child care program for infant thru school-age children, with children from all segments of our community. We offer state licensed child care programs, with both full and part time child care options, in a safe and nurturing environment, addressing the wide range of family child care and scheduling needs in the community. Parents are encouraged to play an active role in their child's care and development, including being involved in policy and program decisions, as well as, emphasis on parent education on how to raise healthy, happy children. Our ymca commitment to strengthening families, relieving the burden of balancing work and family, is interwoven in our childcare programs, making it possible for parents of the children to remain gainfully employed or complete their education for a future career, knowing that their children are thriving in a safe, developmentally appropriate and supportive environment. In 2024, 210 children participated in our infant/toddler, preschool, and in our summer school age program. In addition, we provide assistance and support to at risk children who need help due to family violence, substance abuse, etc., including providing crisis child care services, by collaborating with a variety of social service agencies. At the altru family ymca, no child is turned away due to inability to pay. In 2024, we provided $7,785 in financial assistance for children who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation. In addition, 551 children were at play and reconnected with nature during our summer day camp, 532 children were engaged in our youth sports programs, and 498 children received swimming instruction, with $4,151 in financial assistance provided for youth scholarships for children and teens to be active in the youth programs at the ymca.
