Strong Kids Campaign: Building Future Leaders
Every child deserves a chance to succeed and at the YMCA we focus on engaging kids in programs that help them to grow into strong adults. Early childhood education, before and after school care, Y Achievers, The Saturday Fun Club, and Leaders Clubs help children develop a lifetime love of learning and instill the YMCA character values of Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, and Caring. Financial limitations prevent children from engaging in YMCA programs. Each year volunteers raise dollars to ensure that every child is afforded the opportunity to reach his or her full potential, regardless of financial circumstances.
Your Dollars At Work
Every year the YMCA of Philadelphia & Vicinity is able to provide more than $1.5 million to serve children and families in need of financial assistance. Last year, the Abington Branch distributed $181,441 in financial assistance to 217 needy families by:
Enabling 79 children and youth an opportunity to participate in summer day camp and after school programs.
Educating 22 young children ages 0-5 in licensed childcare programs.
Keeping children from 73 families active and engaged in youth sports, aquatics, and the Healthy KidZone programs.
