YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF GREATER WAUKESHA COUNTY INC

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Our YMCA believes in giving back and supporting our community. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for more than 125 years. We develop skills through education and training and provide opportunities for people to give back and enrich our community through volunteering, mentoring and coaching. The Y provides programs and a supportive community for individuals with health issues including Parkinson's, Arthritis, Diabetes prevention, and the LiveStrong program. The Y also provides adaptive programs that serve community members with cognitive and/or physical disabilities offering wellness and enrichment classes with adaptive equipment and training. In partnership with the Armed Services YMCA and the Department of Defense, our Y is proud to offer memberships and respite childcare service to eligible military families and personnel to provide them with extra support during deployment. As part of our mission our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. We provide financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate. In 2023, over 500 service men, women and their families participated in this program. The YMCA also donates $500 to the YUSA World Vision program to help YMCA's around the world.
