Young Mens Christian Association Of Monroe Mich

Youth development: as the nation's largest provider of youth development programs, we have been responding to the needs of young people in our community for over 69 years. We impacted over 19,500 children through more than 50 unique youth programs to foster healthy physical, mental and socio-emotional growth. Many of our youth initiatives are offered at no cost to the community, including our meal distribution program, childwatch, mobile youth and adaptive sports programs, safety around water, teen events, community family events and out of school time programs. Our nurturing staff provides high-quality child care programs, before and afterschool care, day camps and one-on-one tutoring, serving over 1,000 kids in our community. Aquatics programs provided nearly 1,000 community youth the skills to be safe around water through swim lessons, tide swim team and safety around water initiative, offered for free to all youth. We combated the food insecurity epidemic in our community through our meal distribution program, serving over 133,000 healthy meals to 9,133 kids throughout the country.

Child care: we are committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. All kids deserve the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive through self-discovery and encouragement to cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to healthy and positive behaviors, health and academic achievement. Our programs before and afterschool, day camp, and childwatch offer a wide range of experience that enrich cognitive, socio-emotional and physical growth. We offer direct financial assistance and subsidy assistance to ensure no child is unable to participate due to financial hardship. In partnership with triumph academy and dundee community schools, we offer out of school time programming, expanding our reach and meeting parents' needs throughout our community. All childcare programs prioritize learning loss prevention, academic assistance, stem and literacy skills and social-emotional learning.
