TO PUT CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT BUILD HEALTHY SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY.
About
"HEALTHY LIVING: THE YMCA OF YORK AND YORK COUNTY IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING A HEALTHY COMMUNITY WITH HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. OUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FRIENDSHIP AND COMMUNITY, INCREASED SELF-CONFIDENCE AND THE PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF A HEALTHIER, FITTER BODY. WE BELIEVE THAT ALL PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF AGE, INCOME, BACKGROUND OR ABILITY CAN BENEFIT FROM YMCA WELLNESS PROGRAMS. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE PERSONAL AND GROUP FITNESS CLASSES, A COMPREHENSIVE AQUATICS PROGRAM, NUTRITIONAL CLASSES AND PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO HELP INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY ACHIEVE A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE. CONSIDERED OUR MOST WIDE-RANGING PROGRAM, WE OFFER AQUATICS TO MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY AT ANY AGE. THROUGH PROGRESSIVE LESSONS, WATER EXERCISE & FITNESS, WATER SAFETY, LIFEGUARD CERTIFICATION, A COMPETITIVE SWIM TEAM AND A MASTER'S SWIM PROGRAM, WE HELP DEVELOP THE WHOLE PERSON, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY FROM INFANCY TO SENIOR ADULT. IN ADDITION TO INDOOR POOLS IN TWO OF OUR FOUR BRANCHES, WE HAVE A SEPARATE STATE OF THE ART AQUATIC FACILITY WITH BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR POOLS. IN THE CURRENT YEAR, WE PROVIDED SWIM LESSONS TO HUNDREDS OF INNER-CITY YOUTH THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH TWO LOCAL CHARTER SCHOOLS AND OUR DOWNTOWN CHILD CARE CENTER. DURING THE MONTH OF JULY, WE ALSO OFFERED FREE SWIM LESSONS AT OUR GRAHAM AQUATIC CENTER TO INNER-CITY YOUTH. WE COLLABORATED WITH 13 OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE CITY, TO OFFER THEM USE OF THE POOL DURING THEIR SUMMER PROGRAMMING AT A DISCOUNTED OR EVEN FREE RATE. PART OF THAT COLLABORATION INCLUDED 500 FREE PASSES TO YORK CITY PARKS AND RECREATION FOR THEIR SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMS TO UTILIZE OUR OUTDOOR POOL. OUR AQUATIC PROGRAM IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST THE TECHNIQUES AND SKILLS; IT IS ABOUT BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS, DEVELOPING SELF-ESTEEM AND CREATING POSITIVE EXPERIENCES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. AS PART OF OUR DEDICATION TO BUILDING A HEALTHY COMMUNITY, OUR SOUTHERN BRANCH YMCA PROVIDED FREE SWIM LESSONS TO SECOND GRADERS IN THE CURRENT YEAR AS A PART OF THE FISHES PROGRAM (FREE INSTRUCTIONAL SWIM HELPS EVERY SECOND-GRADER). THE PURPOSE OF FISHES, TO BUILD LIFE-SAVING SWIMMING & WATER SAFETY SKILLS IN CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY, FURTHER ILLUSTRATES THAT COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY. LIVESTRONG AT THE YMCA, AFFORDS CANCER PATIENTS AND SURVIVORS THE ABILITY TO REGAIN THEIR PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL STRENGTH OVER A 12 WEEK PERIOD. WE OFFERED THIS TO OVER 100 PARTICIPANTS AT NO CHARGE. BECAUSE THE YMCA IS A COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION AND WE BELIEVE OUR SERVICES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE, WE OFFER "MEMBERSHIP FOR ALL," OUR OWN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. STRONGLY ALIGNING WITH OUR MISSION, MEMBERSHIP FOR ALL IS AN INCOME-BASED PRICING STRATEGY THROUGH WHICH WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A HEALTHIER SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF INCOME. THE YMCA ALSO OFFERS A FREE TEMPORARY EXTENSION OF MEMBERSHIP TO ANY MEMBER EXPERIENCING LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT, AND FREE MEMBERSHIPS TO ELIGIBLE MILITARY FAMILIES AND PERSONNEL. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO REDUCE THE BARRIERS TO HEALTHY LIVING FOR ALL KIDS & FAMILIES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. IN THE CURRENT YEAR, WE PROMOTED HEALTHY LIVING BY SERVING 66,000 INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDED DIRECT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $427,912.
