AS AN ANCHOR INSTITUTION SINCE 1911, THE ANAHEIM FAMILY YMCA FILLS UNMET NEEDS IN OUR SOCIETY BY WORKING SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF AGE, INCOME, ETHNICITY OR BACKGROUND, HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN, GROW AND THRIVE. THE ANAHEIM FAMILY YMCA IS A TRUSTED COMMUNITY ASSET, WORKING WITH HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS, TO ADDRESS PREVALENT NEEDS WITHIN THE CITIES OF ANAHEIM, STANTON, CYPRESS, AND LA PALMA. EVERY DAY, THE ANAHEIM FAMILY YMCA TAKES ON IMPORTANT CHALLENGES THAT SHAPE THE FUTURE YOUTH AND OUR COMMUNITY - CHALLENGES LIKE CLOSING THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT GAP, PREVENTING CHILDHOOD OBESITY, INSTILLING LIFELONG VALUES, AND GIVING BACK. SERVICES ARE OFFERED AT AFFORDABLE FEES FOR THE COMMUNITY WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE FULL FEE. TOGETHER, WE ADDRESS CRITICAL NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY; NEEDS LIKE SCHOOL-READINESS, WATER SAFETY, SAFE SPACES, HEALTH AND CONNECTIONS.
