Please see below for information regarding such assistance grouped by program. Healthy Living: 324,719 recipients, $2,214,400 in assistance Youth Development: 71,783 recipients, $4,376,317 in assistance Social Responsibility: 280,299 recipients, $1,488,533 in assistance Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds. Monitoring of Refugee Assistance: Direct assistance to International Refugees takes two forms; direct payments to vendors, primarily expenses related to housing, and cash assistance which is meant for all other living expenses. Clients are counseled on the use of these funds and agree not to access public cash assistance during the program period. Governmental agencies awarding these grants conduct periodic program and financial audits of the YMCA to ensure funds are being used according to the terms of the grant. Monitoring of Fee Reductions: Because the demand for financial assistance is great, the YMCA must follow eligibility guidelines. Scholarships are awarded on a first come, first served basis, subject to available resources. Applicants are asked to pay some portion of the fees. If acceptable, a volunteer work program will be arranged. Applicants must complete a Financial Assistance Information form and are required to provide proof of income. Subsidies will be granted to the extent that funds are available. Financial assistance is reviewed for eligibility annually for YMCA programs. The YMCA monitors the use of subsidies by tracking the applicant's attendance in the program and their participation in bearing a portion of the cost. Additionally, the Senior Compliance Auditor conducts periodic audits to ensure compliance with YMCA policy in the distribution and monitoring of scholarships.

It is the mission of the YMCA of Greater Houston to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. The YMCA will partially implement this mission through teaching five core values in all of its programs: Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Honesty and Faith. The YMCA seeks to promote our mission and core values by focusing on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our children, our health and our neighbors. Our goal is to ensure everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. We are an association of men, women and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurture the potential of children, promote healthy living and foster a sense of social responsibility. Our dedication to these goals is only realized through the philanthropic giving of Houstonians, partnerships and community leaders. These gifts have enabled YMCA staff and volunteers to further the YMCA's vision of building healthy, confident, connected and secure children, adults, families and communities. Part III, Line 4a Healthy Living Program Line 4a (Expenses $ 55,601,952) (Grants $20,000) (Revenue $48,597,707) HEALTHY LIVING Participants: Facility Members 324,719 Assistance provided to participants in the form of fee reduction: $2,214,400 For over 130 years, the YMCA of the Greater Houston Area has been a place where people can find hope, fellowship and healing. We know that positive change comes about when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors, staying true to our mission, values and purpose of helping persons grow in spirit, mind and body. In the Greater Houston area, 25 YMCA facilities, one overnight camp and hundreds of program sites nurture the potential of children and teens, improve the city's health and well-being and provide opportunities for individuals to give back and support neighbors. Being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It includes balancing body, mind and spirit. The Y is a place where you can work toward that balance by challenging yourself 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 many family-centered activities. At the Y, it's not about the activity you choose as much as it is about the benefits of living healthier on the inside as well as the outside. The YMCA of Greater Houston reflects the rich diversity of our Greater Houston community in our membership base at our 25 membership facilities. Because we believe a healthier lifestyle should be available to all, the YMCA of Greater Houston offers financial assistance to those in need. Under this program, the membership rate is adjusted based on annual household income. In our quest to make YMCA membership available "for all", last year approximately one-third of our members qualified and benefited from financial assistance. Financial assistance offered totaled $2,214,400. YMCA Membership has never been more relevant in our community. The YMCA provides healthy solutions to problems such as the rise in childhood obesity, increased stress and incidence of chronic diseases related to unhealthy diets and lifestyles. YMCA exercise programs are geared for every age group and all levels of physical fitness. Programs include strength training, group exercise classes, walking clubs, yoga, martial arts, cardio strengthening and chronic disease prevention programs. Building healthy lifestyles are also taught and encouraged through nutritional programs, stress management and educational programs geared to attain and maintain healthy living. Moreover, YMCA programs enable children, teens, parents and seniors to pursue health and wellness as a family. Everyone belongs at the YMCA of Greater Houston. At the YMCA, we strive to be more than just a place to work out but a place where you can belong. Whether just starting on the road to health and wellness or a veteran, the YMCA seeks to make everyone feel accepted, comfortable and at ease. Part III, Line 4b Youth Development Program Line 4b (Expenses $40,070,461) (Grants $0) (Revenue $29,625,685) YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Participants: 71,783 Assistance provided to participants in the form of fee reduction: $4,376,317 At the YMCA, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for life. YMCA Youth Development programs result in more young people 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 talents and interests, helping them realize their potential. This makes for confident children today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow. YMCA Youth Development Programs include: 1) YMCA Child Care - The central focus of all YMCA Child Care programs is to foster growth and development not only in children but also in their parents and families. These educational programs help kids develop moral and ethical behavior, self-esteem and leadership. Parents play an important role in policy and program decisions. In many instances, Y Child Care allows parents of the children in our programs to remain gainfully employed, knowing that their children are thriving in a safe, supportive environment. For parents who cannot afford the full fee, waiver or reduction of tuition is available. YMCA Child Care nurtures the development of children by providing a safe place to learn foundational skills, develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-reliance through the Y values of caring, faith, honesty, respect and responsibility. After School Child Care Once children reach school age, multiple influences enter their lives. YMCA After School ensures that the time after school is occupied creatively and constructively. YMCA After School programs are offered in partnership over 20 area school districts and various other organizations, offering care after school in over 200 locations. Early Childhood The YMCA believes that a quality program should provide enriching experiences that facilitate a child's cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. We strive to meet the developmental needs and temperament of each individual child by working in partnership with families. YMCA Early Childhood Development programs, licensed by the State of Texas, provide curriculum focused on education, leadership and character development. Infant Care YMCA Infant Care centers are designed to meet a child's individual needs by ensuring positive attention and development. Because this is a critical time in a child's life, our infant care program focuses on the development of the whole child and equips even infants with essential skills for life-long learning. Because well-trained staff is a key factor in quality infant care, staff members are required to attend numerous training sessions throughout the year. Middle School Enrichment The YMCA helps young people make wise and healthy choices through programs that give youth opportunities to gain leadership skills, values and an ethic of service. Under the guidance of caring adults, pre-teens learn fair play, positive communication and develop a spirit of cooperation - all skills that are needed to succeed. 2) YMCA Parent/Child - Serving families has always been at the heart of the Y. We are a place where they can find respite from social, economic and educational challenges, and learn how to overcome them. We have a fundamental desire to provide opportunities for every family to build stronger bonds, achieve greater work/life balance, and become more engaged with their communities. YMCA family programs include Family Camp and Family Fun Days at YMCA Camp Cullen as well as other family events that provide children and their parents with activities that foster understanding and companionship. Activities are planned to bring groups of families together to support each other. Parents have the opportunity to learn from each other and from their children in an enjoyable way. 3) YMCA Swim, Sports & Play - The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about being active, and developing healthy habits they'll carry with them throughout their lives. The benefits are far greater than just physical health. Whether it's gaining the confidence that comes from learning to swim or building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in programs at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out. Aquatics The YMCA offers a wide range of swimming options for the whole family. Swimming builds self-confidence and develops the whole person - spirit, mind and body. Classes are divided into ability groups and trained instructors emphasize personal safety, swimming skills, endurance and social skills while guiding students with praise and encouragement. YMCA Safety Around Water is a multifaceted awareness program designed to educate the community about how to prevent drowning. This includes a website with water safety tips as well as information on how you can get your child enrolled in swim lesson programs. The initiative also offers school district programs, a bureau of speakers that provides water safety presentations to the community in English and Spanish, swimming lessons at elementary and middle schools and water safety classes taught at local apartment complexes. Youth Sports The YMCA believes that youth sports programs encourage and promote healthy and strong children, families and communities by placing a priority on family involvement, healthy competition and the value of participation over winning. Team building, as well as individual development, a positive self-image and a sense of fair play and mutual respect for others, are hallmarks of YMCA Sports programs. Caring adult coaches and volunteers create an asset-rich environment in which children learn and practice the core values of responsibility, honesty, respect, faith and caring. Parents are encouraged to be more than mere spectators by contributing their time as volunteer coaches and team parents as well as being their kid's greatest fan. YMCA Youth Sports programs are a great start to a lifetime of fitness and values. Camping Services Overnight, day or specialty camps at the Y share one thing: they're about discovery. All of our camps place special emphasis on youth choice, achievement and a sense of belonging. Children have the opportunity to explore nature, find new talents, try new activities, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories. And, of course, it's fun too. YMCA summer day camp provides youth with supervised activities that teach core values, conflict resolution and leadership skills. Children have fun while making new friends, developing new skills, learning core values, building self-confidence, appreciating teamwork and growing in self-reliance. Y camp is a fun and happy place to enjoy the summer. Y Day Camp gives children the opportunity to play games, create arts and crafts, explore science and technology, swim, participate in field trips, appreciate nature and discover and value our many cultures. Revering nature and the fullness of God's bounty is a major program goal for the YMCA. YMCA Camp Cullen provides a resident camping experience for campers ages seven to seventeen. YMCA camping programs are educational; they promote spiritual awareness, mental development, physical well-being, social growth, and respect for the environment. Through a variety of activities and the use of natural surroundings, YMCA camping seeks to help participants achieve their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body. Campers at Camp Cullen take part in a wide range of water sports, horseback riding, climbing, nature, drama and more. In addition to the many fun activities available, the campers also gather as a cabin group each day where they play, learn and bond while participating in fun activities like campfires and scavenger hunts. In many instances, camping programs serve as child care for parents in the summertime, allowing them to remain gainfully employed. Financial assistance is offered to families unable to afford the full fee. The YMCA offers a Teen Camp experience in a safe atmosphere with highly trained, fun and energetic staff. Teen Camp is filled with fun and exciting trips so teens won't feel like they are in a day camp - but like they are hanging out with friends, fully enjoying their freedom from school. Other YMCA camps include Holiday Camps, Sports Camps and other Specialty Camps to provide youth with opportunities to enhance sports skills and build leadership abilities. Part III, Line 4c Social Responsibility Program Line 4c (Expenses $23,906,073) (Grants $3,600,853) (Revenue $13,770,777) SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Participants: 280,299 Assistance provided to participants in the form of fee reduction: $1,488,533 The YMCA is committed to moving people and communities forward. To bring about meaningful change, individuals need ongoing encouragement and tools. For over 130 years, the YMCA of Greater Houston has actively provided the resources our communities need to address the most pressing social issues: child welfare, education, employment, housing and substance abuse. We work to make sure every child, family and community has what they need to achieve their best. 1) YMCA Opportunity Centers - The YMCA Opportunity Centers vision is to transform apartment complexes and community centers into "communities of caring" in which children thrive and feel a sense of belonging and where all children, in these programs, believe that they "belong" to the YMCA located within their area. This model is based upon building a YMCA program presence within a community and providing a standardized set of programs for the participants. The Y offers programs such as: After School Program with Enrichment Activities The YMCA offers an after school "drop-in" program for children that includes homework assistance, games and activities, and snacks. In addition, the YMCA provides activities that might include classes such as homework assistance, dance, karate, A' STEAM, etc. Summer Programs The YMCA offers a partial (four hour) day program for 4-6 weeks during the summer much like the after school program. In many cases, the program is intertwined with the free lunch program for residents. Core Programs The YMCA arranges for children to participate in traditional core programs of the YMCA which may include swim lessons, youth sports, day camp, older youth programs, and resident camping. Social Service Programs Other social service programs provided at Opportunity Centers may include adult continuing education, health care services, tutorial programs, provision of basic necessities, counseling, and other needed services/programs. 2) YMCA International Services - The YMCA is a worldwide movement with a presence in over 120 countries. The hallmark of all YMCAs is that each is a grassroots organization focused on addressing local community needs. The International Services Center of the YMCA of Greater Houston seeks to meet the needs of Houston's significant refugee and immigrant community through comprehensive programs concentrating on building human assets and fostering self-sufficiency. The Center accomplishes this through a number of programs including Refugee Resettlement, Cash Case Management, Education and Employment Services as well as providing comprehensive services to all victims of Human Trafficking. International Services also offers Immigration Legal Services by recruiting and training pro-bono attorneys from the community to assist asylum seekers and immigrant victims of crime. International Services also seeks to promote and foster international understanding through a number of partnerships and exchanges with fraternal YMCA movements in Vietnam, Mexico and Brazil. 3) YMCA Active Older Adults - This program stresses a three-way approach to work with seniors, involving health and fitness, social activities and opportunities for volunteerism. Older adults are seeking more than physical benefits when they exercise. They also want a sense of community and to strengthen social ties. In response to this need, the YMCA has developed activities to encourage older adults to take action and get involved. Socializing and volunteering have positive effects on the health of older adults, and exercise has proven to promote mental agility in addition to longevity and good health. With that in mind, the YMCA offers fitness programs for older adults like water exercise, yoga, stretching classes, and more. 4) YMCA Special Populations - The YMCA offers a variety of programs and services to people of all abilities, including those with physical disabilities. Adaptive programs are designed specifically for children and adults with disabilities. They remove the barriers that keep children with mental and physical disabilities off the sports field and allows them to experience the joy of playing as part of a team. One of the main barriers for these children is the natural grass field used in conventional youth leagues. Sports are played on a custom-designed, rubberized turf field that accommodates wheelchairs and other devices while helping to prevent injuries. But Adaptive Programs are about more than playing a game. It is about making new friends, building self-esteem and being treated just like other kids. To help the athletes, a "buddy" system is used - pairing each player with an able-bodied peer. The result is a bond that cannot be described and an impact not only on the player, but their buddy as well. We cannot change or cure the medical issues facing these children. What we can do is provide them with an opportunity to experience the joy and benefits that come from playing as a part of the team. 5) YMCA Operation Backpack - YMCA Operation Backpack, Houston's largest school supply drive, collects and distributes over $1.2 million in backpacks and school supplies for children. The YMCA partners with various local churches, community organizations and multiple media partners providing over 156,000 Houston children with needed supplies for the first day of school.
