2012 Annual Report - Ymca

YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities
2012

One Team, One Mission In the long, remarkable,
history of the YMCA in the Twin Cities—a history older than
Minnesota itself—there’s never been a year like 2012.
It was the inaugural year of the YMCA of the Greater Twin
Cities. The beginning of our adventure as one united team
focused on one compelling mission.
Change brings challenge and transition. It also makes us ask big
questions as an organization. Who are we What are we here
for What difference do we want to make
We’re asking those questions about the YMCA of the Greater
Twin Cities. We’re invigorated by the answers! We’re a nonprofit
team that exists to help people of all ages thrive at every
stage of life. The Y has done that for generations. Now, with
an excellent start in 2012, we seek to bring that purpose and
vision to the people of the Twin Cities metro area in ways
that will impact their lives as never before. That’s the
journey we’ve begun. Join us!
Glen Gunderson
President/CEO, YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities
The YMCA of the Greater Twin
Cities (YGTC) nurtures the potential
of children and teens, contributes to
better health for people of all ages,
and strengthens our community,
by serving nearly 250,000
members and participants across
the Twin Cities metro and western
Wisconsin. In 2012, we welcomed
17.5% more new members.
YGTC became one of 17 Y
Associations selected to deliver
the YMCA Diabetes Prevention
Program funded by a three-year,
$12 million dollar national
grant.
Our Y core teen development
programs—Youth in Government,
Leaders Club, Y Start, and
Multicultural Achievers—made
young people better leaders,
provided practical support (and
hope) for academic success to firstgeneration
college students, and
provided safe, positive fun to more
than 3,500 young people.

A Shared Journey People connect with the Y in all
kinds of ways and places. In a canoe. At a child care center.
On a treadmill. In a swimming pool. At an afterschool center.
The connections are many, the vision is one: to help people
be vibrant, healthy, active, whole—at every stage of life.
That is made possible by our many friends who contribute
generously to our annual campaign and other fundraising
efforts. Thank you!
Celebrate the good things we all do and the many lives we
touch. This is the journey we share!
Oszaldo (Ozzie), 19, loves YMCA wilderness camping. Ozzie
has gone on several canoe trips at YMCA Camp Menogyn
over the last three years. Last year he participated in two
Menogyn wilderness canoe sessions. On the first trip,
Ozzie was a leader-in-training, teaching camping and group
management skills to four Latino youth. “My goal is to be
a Menogyn summer staff member so I can pass along what
I’ve learned to others.”
In 2012, the Y Beacons/School
Success initiative engaged more
young people from low-income
communities than ever before,
providing academic support, places
to create, safe and welcoming
environments, and a variety of
enrichment opportunities. That
was true for more than
2,500 kids.
A child whose family can’t afford to
send them to Y camp misses out on
so much: enjoying nature, making
friends, personal growth.
For 1,500 kids last summer, that
was NOT a missed opportunity—
Y donors made it possible for all
of them to go to camp through
financial assistance. Thank you!
YMCA Youth Intervention
homeless prevention efforts took
responsibility for a site-based
transitional living program that
offers housing options in Anoka
County for 18-24 year-old single
mothers.

“I love coming to the Y!” says Marie. “My
kids have a wonderful time in childcare. The staff members
are great. They make my kids feel so welcome. The programs
are fun, they do Spanish, crafts, gym time and stories. I love
my fitness classes, too. It is fun to see people of all ages,
from all walks of life, coming to the Y. At the Y you come as
you are, meet great friends, have a healthy workout, and
leave feeling great. I love coming to the Y!”
“I love to swim,” says Dean. “I keep track, and I’ve
logged 350 miles since 2004. I’m in the pool five days a week
now. Over the years I’ve had two heart attacks, prostate
cancer, and an aneurysm repaired—so now I figure I’m good
for another 100,000 miles! My goal is to live to be 100 with
a good quality of life, and the Y is now helping me on the
way. In my volunteer work as a senior companion, twice a
week I bring a woman who is 91 years young to the Y where
she does 45 minutes of exercise. Yes, we all love the Y!”
We cared for, played with,
nurtured, and developed the
potential of nearly 5,000 kids
through YMCA School-Aged Care
programs.
Our “Kids to Camp” campaign
raised more than $50,000 and
sent 237 kids from our Beacons
Centers to Y Day Camps.
Nearly 2,300 young people,
the majority from urban and lowincome
backgrounds, are safer
around water after receiving YMCA
water safety lessons in 2012.
Over 80 homeless youth in
Ramsey County were connected to
crucial resources, including stable
housing, food support and basic
needs, through an expansion of
YMCA street-based outreach into
that county.
We serve over 500 youth in our
homeless youth programs each
year throughout Anoka, Hennepin
and Ramsey counties
