Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $558,979 spent. Healthy Living: The Y is a leader on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster socialization through a variety of fitness classes, youth and adult activities, and shared interests. Examples are our Strength Train Together class, Lifestyle Splash aquatics class, youth and adult volleyball programs, youth soccer and our free Pickleball program. As a result, nearly 2700 people in our service area receive the support, guidance, and resources to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, mental health struggles, as families face a work/life balance battle and individuals look for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to people of all faiths, backgrouds, abilities, and income levels.
  2. $139,745 spent. Youth Development: Our Y is committed to nurturing the potential of every youth. We believe they all deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Thats why we help young people develop the skills, values, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievements. Our Y programs, such as Summer Day Camp, Group Swim Lessons, Junior High Fitness Class, Lifeguard Certification Classes offer a range of experience that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. Our expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that makes participation possible for over 50% of the youth we engage.
  3. Social Responsibility: Our Y believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. Weve been listening to our communitys needs for more than 20 years. Y programs, such as TogetherTM, and our support by being involved with community events, such as the Community Thanksgiving Dinner, Live Well Montgomery County Community Garden, Meals on Wheels, participation in blood pressure clinics and holding an annual free community winter holiday celebration are examples of how we support our neighbors to affect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. In 2025, we engaged over 200 Y members, participants, and volunteers in activies that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.
