Young Mens Christian Association Of Staunton Virginia

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. Our ymca programs, such as homeschool pe, afterschool adventure club, and summer day camp, offer a range of experiences that enrich social-emotional, cognitive and physical growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance of $47,195 that make participation possible for approximately 35 percent of the young people we engage.

Social responsibility:our ymca believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for 150 years. Y programs, such as the tutoring network, are examples of how we deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. In 2024, we engaged about 150 ymca members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.
