A MESSAGE FROM OUR LEADERSHIP
After 141 years of serving greater San Antonio, the Y understands what our community needs to be its best. Working with compassionate volunteers and donors, as well as talented staff, the Y provides everyone the opportunity to be healthy and thrive, connect with others, and contribute to a better community. In <strong>2016</strong> we embarked on our Vision 2020 journey to take on the challenges that shape our city’s future. Vision 2020 defines what we want to achieve within the Y’s three focus areas (healthy living, youth development and social responsibility) by concentrating on five priorities: brand identity, community connection, youth enhancement, community well-being and expanding our reach. We have made great progress thus far and as we continue to move forward, it’s important to reflect on the amazing year we had in <strong>2016</strong>. We are successfully growing and expanding because we are working together. Here are a few highlights of our first year. • The Y celebrated the groundbreaking of the Harvey E. Najim Family YMCA on the City’s southside. The 14,000 square foot facility will bring new activities, resources and nutrition to a community that is in need of a safe place to gather and build healthy habits for spirit, mind and body. Scheduled to open August 2017. • We experienced a great response from our renovation at the D.R. Semmes Family YMCA which added approximately 5,000 square feet of new member space for that community. • The Mays Family YMCA at Potranco opened in November. This 58,000 square foot facility includes a teaching kitchen and a branch of the San Antonio Public Library. • The Y partnered with the City of Schertz to open the Schertz Aquatics Center. This is the first indoor aquatics center in the area that features an eight lane pool as well as a leisure pool. • We are continuing to provide our community with access to healthy food and nutrition education by holding food distribution events, and providing summer meals and snacks. We believe in accessibility, opportunity, and inclusion for all. The Y’s reach is broad; everyone has the opportunity to belong and we are committed to strengthening the foundations of the community everyday. We are grateful for our visionary volunteers, committed donors, and loyal & talented staff. Thank you!
