Young Mens Christian Association Of The Chesapeake Inc

Youth development - our ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids 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 day camps, after school care, and preschool camps, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for every young person 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 more than 60 years. Y programs, such as learn to swim programs, summer learning programs to help combat summer learning loss, early learning programs for participants and caregivers, and programming providing support to other non-profit organizations to strengthen community partnerships are examples of how we deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles.
