About
IN 1858, OUR YMCA MISSION WAS FOUNDED ON SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY TEACHING CORE VALUES TO CHILDREN. WITH CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP GROWTH, OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES AND COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMS, OUR Y IS NOW SERVING 2 OUT OF 5 PEOPLE IN OUR SERVICE AREA. FOR THE PAST YEAR, OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM HAS FOCUSED OUR STAFF TO RAISE THE CONSISTENCY OF PROGRAMS. AS THE CENTRAL COMPONENET OF OUR MISSION, WE ARE FULFILLING OUR BRAND PROMISE TO DELIVER THE SAFEST, AND HIGHEST-QUALITY PROGRAMS WE CAN PROVIDE, THEN ENSURING THROUGH GRANT AND DONOR SUPPORT THAT EVERY CHILD, FAMILY, ADULT AND SENIOR WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE. OUR PROGRAM QUALITY INCREASED IN THREE WAYS WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN MORE OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTICIPATING TOGETHER IN THE YMCA MISSION: 1) OUR SWIM LESSONS DELIVERY HAS BECOME MORE CONSISTENT AND UTILIZES NATIONAL CURRICULUM, 2) WE BROUGHT IN A LICENSED TUMBLING PROGRAM FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN, AND 3) WE WORKED WITH OUR LOCAL DHS TEAM TO LICENSE ADDITIONAL SUMMER CAMP LOCATIONS. IN ADDITION, WE MAINTAINED NEAR-CAPACITY IN OUR YMCA EARLY LEARNING CENTERS, PROVIDING CRUCIAL PROGRAMMING FOR CHILDREN IN THEIR FIRST 2,000 DAYS OF LIFE. WE ALSO CONTINUE TO USE OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO SERVE MORE CHILDREN, ADULTS, AND FAMILIES IN BOTH PROGRAM PARTICIPATION, CHILD CARE AND FACILITY MEMBERSHIP BY ENSURING AN INTENTIONAL PROCESS THAT ENCOURAGES COMPLETE YMCA PARTICIPATION THROUGH VALUE-BASED, ALL-INCLUSIVE MEMBERSHIP WITH DISCOUNTED PROGRAM RATES. THUS, WE SERVED 16,519 CHILDREN AGES 0-17 AS MEMBERS OF OUR YMCA IN 2018, WITH AN ADDITIONAL 7,765 INVOLVED THROUGH TUMBLING AND SWIM LESSONS, SPORTS, AND CHILD CARE, PLUS ANOTHER 150 IN OUR AT-RISK OUTREACH PROGRAMS AT THE ELEMENTARY, JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS. THUS, WE ARE CONNECTING 1 IN EVERY 4 CHILDREN IN OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY, HELPING TO CONNECT AND ENGAGE ALL CHILDREN, ENCOURAGING THEM TO DEVELOP CONFIDENCE, RESPECT AND APPRECIATE OTHERS, AND WORK TOGETHER FOR SHARED GOALS. WE CONTINUE TO USE OUR THREE, LICENSED EARLY LEARNING CENTERS TO SERVE NEARLY 277 CHILDREN DAILY. FROM A MISSION-CRITICAL STANDPOINT, NEARLY 60% OF THE FAMILIES SERVED IN THESE DAY CARE PROGRAMS RECEIVE ASSISTANCE, BOTH FROM OUR OWN LOCAL FUNDRAISING EFFORTS, AS WELL AS STATE ASSISTANCE. THE SUCCESS OF EARLY LEARNING INITIATIVES CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN OUR BRAND, WHICH IN TURN PROVIDES NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO COLLABORATE AND SERVE POPULATIONS THROUGHOUT OUR REGION. WILL. WE ALSO COLLABORATE WITH OTHER AGENCIES TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO THESE FAMILIES, INCLUDING FINANCIAL LITERACY, HEALTHY NUTRITION AND BEHAVIOR COUNSELING. WE SERVED 291 YOUTH IN OUR BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND 2402 YOUTH IN OUR ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS THROUGH OUT THE SCHOOL YEAR, COLLABORATING WITH THREE SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHILE USING FACILITIES WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF OUR YMCA BRANCHES. WE WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY TO CELEBRATE READING IN ALL OF OUR SCHOOL AGE PROGRAMS, MAKING THIS PART OF EVERY PROGRAM CURRICULUM. THESE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE ALSO BEING SERVED THROUGH MULTIPLE COLLABORATIONS. FROM BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN DISTRICTS IN THE EASTERN COUNTY, TO PRESCHOOL EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS IN THE WESTERN PORTION, AND IN-SCHOOL COLLABORATIONS AND PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE CENTRAL CITY. OUR FISCAL DILIGENCE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR MISSION MOMENTUM ARE PUTTING US INTO GREAT POSITION TO CAPITALIZE ON NEW OPPORTUNITES TO SERVE AND CONNECT MORE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. CAMP ABE LINCOLN INCREASED SERVICE BY CONTINUING TO PROVIDE ENRICHMENT EXPERIENCES AND RELIABLE PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH TO PARTICIPATE IN THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR AND SUMMER. OUR SIGNATURE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM BRANCH REACHED CAPACITY OVER SOME WEEKS, WHILE EXPANDING CAPACITY FOR DAY CAMP. WE SERVED 2,595 KIDS IN DAY CAMPS, BOTH AT CAMP ABE LINCOLN AS WELL AS OUR EXPANDED DHS-LICENSED SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAMS. WE ALSO PROVIDED 557 KIDS WITH AN IMMERSIVE RESIDENT CAMP EXPERIENCE, CONNECTING FAMILIES FROM ALL OVER THE MIDWEST. THROUGH DONATIONS AND OTHER FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE OUR MISSION PROMISE BY MAKING CAMP ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. OVER 20% OF PARTICIPANTS AT DAY AND RESIDENT CAMP RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. LOCAL SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY GROUPS ALSO ATTEND EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WHICH CONTINUES ARE DEVELOPMENT OF A COLLABORATIVE NETWORK THAT CONNECTS MORE KIDS AND FAMILIES TO THE PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES AT CAMP ABE LINCOLN. WE ALSO ARE PROUD TO CONTINUE SPECIALTY CAMPS THAT SERVE FAMILIES AFFECTED BY CANCER AND MILITARY FAMILIES WHO ARE AFFECTED BY DEPLOYMENT. IN ADDITION, BECAUSE OF OUR CONNECTIONS THROUGH SWIMMING, WE ARE ABLE TO DO ADDITIONAL AQUATICS PROGRAMMING WHICH INCLUDES AN UPGRADED "SAFETY AROUND WATER" PROGRAM DESIGNED TO LIMIT THE UNFORTUNATELY HIGH INCIDENCE OF DROWNING AMONG TITLE 1, MINORITY POPULATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. IN OUR SECOND YEAR OFFERING THIS DONOR AND GRANT-FUNDED PROGRAM, WE SERVED OVER 400 CHILDREN WHO HAD NEVER RECEIVED SWIM INSTRUCTION, INCREASING OUR GEOGRAPHICAL REACH FOR THIS PROGRAM BY PROVIDING MORE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTY. FINALLY, BECAUSE OF THE STAFF AND FACILITY RESOURCES WE ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN, WE CONTINUOUSLY LOOK FOR FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS THROUGH AQUATICS. WE ARE PROUD THAT THE SPECTRUM OF YOUTH DEVELPOMENT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES WE PROVIDE IS GIVING EVERY CHILD - REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY - THE RESOURCES TO LEARN, GROW, THRIVE AND REACH THEIR GOD-GIVEN POTENTIAL.
