2011 Invest In Youth Campaign

Strengthen Your Community

The Y uses your gift to make a meaningful, enduring impact right in our own neighborhoods.

$5,000: Twelve youth learn healthy living skills by attending the youth obesity prevention program.

$2,500: Four youth develop learning skills and get homework help so they can excel in school.

$1,000: Twenty teens can get homework help, engage in positive activities, and build relationships with caring mentors.

$500: A grandmother raising her daughter's child receives one month of subsidized after school care.

$250: Four children gain water safety skills through participation in swim lessons.

$100: Three children gain confidence by participating in youth sports.


Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income, or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together. That's why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause.

With a focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the Y works to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve the nation's health and well-being, and give back and support our neighbors.

At the Y, no child, family, or adult is turned away. We recognize that for communities to succeed, everyone must be given the opportunity to be healthy, confident, connected, and secure.


 
Gretchen Stiger's Story
The YMCA of Snohomish county has played a big part in helping my children and student's learn how to be participants in their community.

My own children have used the YMCA to learn to swim, play basketball and commit to a life of health and fitness.

My students have benefited from the generosity of the YMCA as a safe place to hang out and find mentors to guide them in their life goals.  When I was helping my students find jobs that would provide not just a wage, but also a chance to work with people who could mentor their quest for career knowledge; the Everett YMCA stepped forward to help.

The YMCA provides a safe place for our young people to interact and learn how to become future leaders in our community.

Please join me in helping to support the programs that will allow these experiences to continue.
