About this organization
Mission
The Rye YMCA is a family-oriented community service organization which welcomes all people and promotes positive values through programs that build spirit, mind, and body.
About
Youth Development: We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Our goal is to help youth cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. And, because they learn from our role models, we know that they will one day become role models for others. The Rye Y's youth development programs include afterschool child care, a pre-school enrichment program, summer and vacation camps, movement and enrichment classes for babies and toddlers, and youth sports (competitive and non-competitive). We also offer a safe space for teens to socialize with friends, stay physically fit and develop leadership skills. In all of our programs and activities, we focus on developing the whole child in spirit, mind and body. Family bonds are essential to individual and community health, and the Y is deeply committed to supporting families of all forms. Through ongoing programs such as First Family Fridays to special events that include the annual Cardboard Boat Regatta, community Halloween Carnival and Rye Derby/Healthy Kids Day, we give families the opportunity to spend fun, quality time together. When families can't be together, we offer safe, affordable child care and programming that give working parents peace of mind and kids a rich, nurturing experience. Recognizing that a parent's job is more than just 9-5, the Y offers morning babysitting, a licensed after school program, summer camp and school holiday vacation camps. From the first Caregiver and Child classes to the Teen Leaders Club, the Y is making an impact on children of all ages. And thanks to our Y Cares fund, we are able to provide scholarships, subsidies and financial assistance to children and families who would not otherwise be able to enjoy all that the Y offers. In 2018, the Rye Y helped youth unlock their potential in a variety of ways: * 1,661 children and teens learned new skills, made friends and grew in confidence at the Rye Y's summer camp. In addition to the traditional camp experience, the Y offered one-week sessions for those interested in gymnastics, sports and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). Middle and high school students also stayed active through Teen Fitness Camp and enjoyed community service projects and daily trips to local attractions through Adventure Camp. * The Rye Y also offers opportunities for summer leadership development. Our Counselors in Training program, which is open to youth who have completed grades 9 and 10, challenges teens to grow as leaders at camp and within their community. CITS learn such skills as team building, problem solving and positive role modeling. They are also coached in a variety of tasks, including activity planning and camper supervision. In 2018, 30 teens served as CITS. In 2018, we once again offered Leaders in Training for middle school youth who are seeking a different kind of camp experience. Similar to the CIT program, LITs learn leadership skills and are coached through various tasks. There were 61 youth that served as LITs. Students who participate in the CIT and LIT programs are able to earn community service credit for school or religious education requirements. * The Rye Y hired 168 camp counselors for the 2018 season. For many of these young adults, this was their first job! * Launched in September 2018, our Pre-School Enrichment program offers three to five year-olds a variety of fun activities, including swim lessons, sports instruction, movement, cooking, art, science, gardening and playground time. As one mom remarked "We're super happy with the program. Jack comes home tired from all the activities and asks to come back the next morning." * Knowing that youth development means more than sports, the Rye Y runs enrichment programs for all ages, including Baby and Me Drum Class, Pre-School Cooking Club, Hip Hop Dance, Kiddie Crafts, Hands on Art, Spanish Music and Movement, STEM Mechanics, Chess Club, and more. In 2018, we introduced a 3-D Printing Program. * The Rye Y continued to be actively involved in RyeACT (Rye Action for Children and Teens), a grassroots coalition that is mobilizing our community to prevent teen substance use and support healthy choices. As the Coalition's fiscal agent, our staff handles financial matters related to RyeACT's federal Drug-Free Communities grant. Throughout the year, we worked closely with RyeACT's coordinator and other involved sectors to foster coalition building, community outreach and youth involvement in RyeACT's mission. * In 2018, we partnered with the Rye Youth Council and RyeACT to organize a meeting of all youth-serving organizations in Rye. Over 40 representatives of dozens of organizations and agencies attended the January 9, 2019 "Growing the Positive" half-day meeting. Our goal: to explore a framework for working together to more effectively serve Rye's children and teens. * Teens and tweens need safe places, caring adults and positive activities. The Rye Y rocked Saturday nights with fun, games and food, drawing a total of 262 teens over eight Second Saturday events. * The Rye Y's School Recess Program keeps kids moving, prevents bullying and makes that brief time after lunch a positive experience. During the 2017-2018 school year, we placed recess coordinators in three elementary schools in two school districts: Osborn School in Rye City and Daniel Warren and F.E. Bellows in Rye Neck. A total of 1,350 children were served. * The Y brought fun physical activity into Rye Neck schools. Our Zumba, Cardio Boot Camp and Circus Yoga instructors each taught a week of gym classes at Daniel Warren Elementary School. At F.E. Bellows Elementary School, our instructors led a week of gym class Zumba and a week of Cardio Boot Camp. * The Rye Y's Leaders' Club offers young adults the opportunity to create positive change and implement creative ideas in service to the Y and their community. The Club serves high school and middle school students through weekly meetings and volunteer opportunities. In 2018 we had 8 teens actively engaged in the Leaders Club. * Staying in on a Friday night is fun when you're doing something you love at the Y! In 2018, we hosted Gymnasts' Night In events in January, March, May and October. These fun-filled evenings for ages 5 and up included dinner, gymnastics, group games and open work-outs. * When school's out, the fun begins! During the 2017-2018 school year, children aged five to eleven filled 140 slots in the Rye Y's basketball, soccer and gymnastics camps during school holidays and vacations. During the 2018-2019 school year, 125 children participated in these holiday and vacation camps. And, during the 2018 calendar year, 36 children kept busy over school breaks at our STEAM camp. * Teens kept busy during the breaks at Fitness Vacation Clinics and our Teen Travel Club. The Y also hosted one-day Fun Clubs for the younger kids and adventure trips for teens on school holidays. * The YMCA continued to lead the way in youth sports and aquatics with approximately 1,300 kids participating in sports lessons, including gymnastics, soccer, lacrosse, golf, baseball, football and karate. Nine hundred children (and a few adults) took swim lessons during each of our 9-week sessions. * During the 2018-2019 school year, 100 girls honed their skills through the Rye Y's gymnastics team, pre-team and Talent Group. * The Rye Y's Gymnastics Team made us proud throughout the year. In June 2018, eleven members of the Rye YMCA gymnastic team competed in the YMCA Nationals in Toledo, Ohio and returned home with several medals! * During the 2017-2018 school year, 64 students played and learned at After School Adventures (ASA), the Rye Y's licensed school-age child care program. During the 2018-2019 school year, 65 children were enrolled in the program. * The Rye Y served over 200 families in Child Watch. Child Watch is a babysitting service for Y members that allows parents and caregivers the time to pursue their own health and wellness goals while at the YMCA. * Hundreds of adults and children of all ages celebrated the holidays at special events designed especially for families. In October, it was spooky fun when we transformed our gym and common areas into a Halloween carnival. In December, who should arrive at the Y but Santa Claus! * First Family Fridays brought families with young children together for monthly themed activities at the Y. An average of 30 people attended each of the nine events - with themes ranging from Cinco de Mayo to Frankenstein Friday. * Every April, the Rye Y hosts Healthy Kids Day in conjunction with the Annual Rye Derby road race. During Healthy Kids Day, which is free of charge and open to the community, families enjoy healthy snacks, BBQ lunch, and activities designed to keep kids moving, playing and learning.
