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.


 
My Story

Please join me in the fundraising effort for the YMCA Invest in Youth campaign. I have been involved in this annual campaign for many years and have seen the positive impacts of the money raised many times over. What has drawn me to this is the idea that we are able to effect possibility for families. The Invest in Youth campaign helps in many ways including before and after school child care, "hang time" for teens so they can exercise and do their homework at the YMCA until parents come home, kids and their parents can learn about living healthier lives and weight loss, financial assistance for kids and families to the YMCA and its programs, summer camps, and much more. There are many ways we can provide hope in our community and Invest in Youth provides the hope and the promise that access to children and families will be there.
