YMCA 2017 Impact Report

PROGRAM IMPACT
The Y is for Healthy Living, Youth Development, and Social Responsibility.
Our kids are ready to learn.
We helped close the summer learning gap for more
than 3,000 students. We committed to ensuring 110
children were ready to enter Kindergarten. Even more
exciting, our partnerships with schools helped us
provide enriching out-of-school time for 1,600 youth.
67% of our third graders are reading at or above
grade level, an increase of 6% over 2016.
88% of our preschoolers are on track to reach or
exceed age-appropriate milestones, a 3% increase
over 2016.
We say YES to youth sports.
Y Elementary soccer [YES] has tripled its numbers,
ensuring more than 350 students maintain a C
average, have zero school absences, and zero referrals
to the principal—all while learning to be a part of a
team and thrive.
Our members love us.
90% of members report the Y helps them achieve
their goals.
We’re invested in our approach to Healthy
Living through creation and implementation
of our medically based programs.
We taught 50 people how to perform Blood Pressure
Self-Monitoring (BPSM); through our Pedaling for
Parkinson’s class, 38 people living with PD mitigated
their symptoms, improved their balance, and enjoyed
the freedom of riding a bicycle again; and a recently
introduced program, Move Together, has brought 685
people who hadn’t exercised in years to the Y.
Every one of our 150 participants in Diabetes
Prevention Program met the standard of
5% weight loss.
New partnership to solve hunger.
We’ve embarked on new partnerships to ensure our
kids and families have the resources to meet their
nutritional needs and understand the significant
impact this has on health and learning.
THANK YOU
