THIS IS

WHY.

YMCA of Lenawee County

119th Annual Report

Our Mission:

The mission of the YMCA, a membership based organiza-

tion, is to put Christian principles into practice through

programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

Our Cause:

Our cause is strengthening community. Every day we work

side by side with our neighbors to make sure that every-

one, regardless of age, income or background has the op-

portunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Our Areas of Focus:

Youth Development—nurturing the potential of every child

and teen.

Healthy Living—Improving our community’s health and well

-being.

Social Responsibility—Giving back and providing support to

our neighbors.

Our Heritage:

For over 119 years, the YMCA of Lenawee County has

worked to strengthen the lives of children, families and

individuals throughout our community. We are proud of

this rich history of service, and we are most proud when

our members tell us inspiring stories about how the Y has

changed their lives. These stories are what motivate us to

do what we do.

GROWING

STRONGER

TOGETHER

In 2011:

171 children were provided a safe place to learn skills,

develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-

reliance through Y values at our 3 Pre-school Child

Care programs or through one of our 6 afterschool

sites.

Summer Day Camp programs provided 154 youth the

opportunity to make new friends, discover new skills

and enjoy a summer of fun in an atmosphere that rein-

forces the values of caring, honesty, respect and re-

sponsibility.

The Y helps youth learn about being active and devel-

oping healthy lifestyles they will carry with them

throughout their lives. Whether it was the 676 youth

gaining the confidence that comes from learning to

swim, or the 1088 youth building positive relationships

that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork

through sports, the Y is about building the whole per-

son from the inside out.

I AM WHY. Because I am the future

Nurturing the potential of every child

and teen

We believe the values and skills learned early on are

vital building blocks for life. Because of the Y, more

young people around our community are taking a

greater interest in learning and making smarter life

choices. At the Y, children and teens learn values and

positive behaviors and can explore their unique tal-

ents and interests, helping them realize their poten-

tial. This makes for confident kids today and contrib-

uting and engaged adults tomorrow.

In 2011:

More than 170 kids enjoyed a day of fun and active play at the Healthy

Kids Field Day held in collaboration with Adrian College. Student athletes

from the college comprised more than 150 volunteers for this free com-

munity event.

The fourth annual Splash and Dash youth triathlon gave more than 160

youth the opportunity to stay active and develop healthy habits they’ll

carry with them throughout their lives.

In collaboration with several other community health partners, the YMCA

continued work on the Pioneering Healthier Communities initiative focus-

ing on policies, systems and environmental changes that will promote

healthy lifestyles and combat childhood obesity.

At the Y, a supportive community is a big part of wellness. At every age

and every level of activity, you’ll find people just like you looking to live a

little bit healthier. Through our water exercise, land exercise, cycling and

wellness programs more than 2,800 adults participated in activities that

promote a healthy lifestyle.

WE ARE WHY. Because being healthy is important to our

community

Being healthy means more than simply being

physically active. It’s about maintaining a bal-

anced spirit, mind and body. The Y is a place

where everyone can work toward that balance

by challenging themselves to learn a new skill or

hobby, fostering connections with friends

through our lifelong learning programs, or

bringing your loved ones closer together

through our family –centered activities. At the

Y, it’s not about the activity as much as it is

about the benefits of being healthier.

In 2011:

The generosity of others is at the core of our existence.

Through the 2011 Strong Kids Campaign $25,670 was raised to

provide financial assistance to those that otherwise couldn’t

afford a YMCA membership or program. However, the need for

support far exceeded the amount that was raised. In 2011, the

YMCA provided over $62,000 in support to more than 871 chil-

dren and families in our community.

There is no other volunteer organization quite like the Y. It is

only through the commitment of over 400 program and policy

volunteers that we are able to give back to the community we

serve.

We are a powerful ally and advocate for Lenawee County. Last

year, through partnerships and collaborations such as Healthy

Lenawee, Splash & Dash and Healthy Kids Field Day we were

able to expand our impact on issues such as childhood obesity

and the overall health and well-being of our community.

Lenawee County is fortunate to be surrounded by many lakes

and rivers. Last year, through a free water safety initiative

known as SPLASH, 88 children were able to learn new skills to

keep them safe in an aquatic environment.

The Y has always been a place where families can play and be

active together, and that’s more important today than ever be-

fore. In 2011, family nights, holiday events, family swim and

gym all helped provide these opportunities for the more than

922 families.

YOU ARE WHY. Because by giving back we support our

friends and neighbors.

The YMCA of Lenawee County has been listening

and responding to our community’s most critical

social needs for more than 119 years. We know

that when we work as one, we move people and

communities forward. That’s why we are commit-

ted to providing support to our neighbors and

opportunities for kids, adults and families to give,

join in or advocate in the name of stronger com-

munities.
