Young Mens Christian Association Of Southeastern North Carolina Inc

We strive to make sure that a healthy lifestyle is available to everyone in our community. Adult sports and recreation, Adaptive Programs and Community Health Programs offer a wide range of options so adults can pay attention to their unique health needs. Evidence Based Health Initiatives have grown in our community, and programs like Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring, the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), Healthy Weight and Your Child, Livestrong at the YMCA and more are available to those for whom it will make a difference. Our Active Older Adults program is offered to people who are 50 and older. AOA ensures offerings that are tailored to a wide range of interests and skill levels including Yoga, Chair Aerobics, Pickleball Lessons & Play, Walking Programs, Water Aerobics, Line Dancing, Garden Club and games. 5K & 10K Races, a Pier-2-Pier Swim, a YMCA Kids Triathlon, and a Sprint Triathlon were offered throughout the year. In 2024 over $775,421 was given to Y members who needed financial assistance. Y Membership includes free access to all organization facilities, group exercise classes, use of cardio and strength equipment, childcare, pool access, wellness orientations, access to wellness staff, monthly newsletters, and discounts on many Y programs. We also offer Virtual Wellness classes to the community, racquetball, pickleball, basketball, water aerobics/fitness/Zumba, swim lessons, a wide range of yoga, barre classes, seated strength, and cardio Classes (BODYPUMP, kickboxing, hip hop and more) inspiring members to stay involved. Our community depends on the Y and value the fact that we are consistent, stable, and safe. Old and new friendships contribute to an overall sense of wellbeing and a positive outlook.

Thanks to a partnership between Sampson County Regional Hospital, The Anonymous Trust and the YMCA of Southeastern NC, the Sampson County YMCA opened its doors in Clinton, NC on June 9, 2022. This was a shining example of the fact that our organization takes Social Responsibility to heart. By the end of 2024 the Sampson County YMCA has over 1,200 membership units, 5 Corporate Membership partners, and is actively serving the community through various health and wellness programs, including our Schools in Pools program.As an association, thousands of volunteers play a key role in our success. They serve on various committees, Association and Advisory Boards. They help with special events, coach sports teams and work on our Annual Fundraising Campaign. In 2024 we provided $1,547,747 in community benefit and financial assistance dollars, making sure those who want to be a part of the YMCA can be. We offer programs and opportunities for all ages, including those among us who are older, working toward better health, or just trying to maintain. Population Health Programs like Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring, the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program, Moving for Better Balance, Pedal for Parkinson's, and LiveStrong (for cancer survivors) allow anyone the opportunity to better their mind, body and spirit at the Y.The YMCA provided over 75 teenagers with free memberships during the summer of 2024, giving youth a safe place to learn, grow and thrive. Additionally, in Q4 2024 we matched the initial $4 million dollar capital matching grant from the New Hanover County Endowment which is going to allow us to move forward on the Midtown YMCA Expansion project. We have a major capital campaign underway to secure the remaining dollars needed to break ground on that project, hopefully by Q4 of 2025. Purchasing and developing this location into a full-service facility will allow the YMCA to more than double our impact and dramatically improve the lives of thousands of residents in New Hanover County.The 2024 YMCA of SENC Annual Campaign raised nearly $457,815 surpassing our stated campaign goal. This scholarship adjustment further highlights the importance of Social Responsibility for our organization.
