Youth development: 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's why we help young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Beyond providing child care services in a safe, structured environment for families, our early education and school age child care programs offer a range of experiences that enrich social-emotional, cognitive and physical growth. In 2024, we provided $106,148 in financial assistance for childcare.
