We bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interests. As a result, each month over 16,446 people in our community receive the support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind, and body at the y. Programs such as our blood pressure monitoring program at the ymca are making a lasting impact in the community. Group exercise programs offer seniors an opportunity to engage in wellness activities that help to minimize future fall risk while participating in a larger community. Our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. In 2024, the ymca of central new mexico provided 322,169 in financial assistance to people and community members who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate in ymca programs.

Social responsibility our ymca believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical needs for 110 years. At the y, we believe that working together to strengthen our community is a key component to making our community a better place to live and raise a family. In 2024, 409 volunteers recorded over 8,864 hours serving on boards and committees, coaching youth sports, mentoring our teens, helping to organize and lead events that support our community, or raising funds to ensure every child, adult, and family has an opportunity to participate in ymca programs. The y connects families and provides a safe and nurturing environment for children at our early childhood, before and after school, summer day camp, and resident camp programs. Keeping in line with the ymca's cause of strengthening community, the ymca partners with public school districts and other community organizations to ease the burden on government and successfully operates youth programs throughout the communities we serve. The y is continually seeking activities and programs that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.
