  • YMCA After School Program

    YMCA AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM: IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT THERE ARE FEWER AND FEWER FAMILIES THAT CAN SURVIVE ON A ONE PARENT INCOME. MANY OF THOSE FAMILIES THAT DO, DO SO BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE PARENT IN THE FAMILY. MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, OUR COMMUNITY IS IN NEED OF A PLACE WHERE PARENTS CAN FEEL SAFE TO LEAVE THEIR CHILDREN DURING THE AFTER SCHOOL HOURS. EVERYDAY OUR YMCA TRANSPORTS 250 CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL TO THE YMCA FOR A VARIETY OF SAFE AND ENRICHING PROGRAM OPTIONS. 500 CHILDREN ARE IN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS AT 13 DIFFERENT SITES IN CHATHAM COUNTY. CHILDREN OF AGES FIVE TO FIFTEEN FROM HOMES AND COMMUNITIES OF ALL BACKGROUNDS, ETHNICITIES AND INCOME LEVELS COME TO THE YMCA TO LEARN AND PLAY TOGETHER WHILE FOCUSING ON THE FOUR CORE VALUES OF HONESTY, CARING, RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY. THREE LOWER INCOME COMMUNITIES ARE SPECIFICALLY TARGETED FOR THIS PROGRAM BY PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION BOTH TO THE YMCA AND BACK HOME TO THE COMMUNITY AT THE END OF THE DAY. THE $65,451 IN SUBSIDY GIVEN OUT TO PARTICIPANTS SHOWS THE NEED FOR SUCH A PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE COMMITMENT OF OUR YMCA TO MEET THAT NEED.

  • YMCA Summer Camp Program

    YMCA SUMMER CAMP DAYS: UNFORTUNATELY FOR KIDS, THE LONG, HOT DAYS OF HANGING AROUND THE HOUSE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD DURING THE SUMMER BREAK ARE THE EXCEPTION AND NO LONGER THE RULE WITH MOST FAMILIES. SUMMER DAY CAMPS ARE NO LONGER A BREAK FROM THE MONOTONY OF SUMMER SO THAT THE KIDS CAN DO SPECIAL ACTIVITIES AND SEE SPECIAL SUMMER FRIENDS. SUMMER CAMPS IN MANY CASES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CHILD CARE PIECE THAT WORKING PARENTS FACE EVERY YEAR. HERE AT THE YMCA WE REALIZE THAT MANY OF OUR SUMMER CAMP KIDS ARE HERE FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER. PROGRAMS ARE NOW SET UP SO THAT EACH WEEK/SESSION IS DIFFERENT ENOUGH TO KEEP A CHILD'S INTEREST THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AND ALL OF THE PROGRAMS ARE WRAPPED AROUND OUR FOUR CORE VALUES OF HONESTY, CARING, RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY. EACH WEEK DURING THE SUMMER THE YMCA ENTERTAINS OVER 750 CHILDREN PER DAY, AGES 4-15, ALL FAITHS, BACKGROUNDS AND INCOME LEVELS. $15,475 DOLLARS IN SCHOLARSHIPS WERE AWARDED IN 2014 TO INSURE THAT NOBODY WAS TURNED AWAY FROM A YMCA DUE TO LACK OF ABILITY TO PAY.
