FROM SWIM LESSONS AND WATER SAFETY TO YOUTH SPORTS AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS, THE Y KEEPS KIDS SAFE WHILE THEY LEARN, EXPLORE AND SHINE! INSIDE A CLASSROOM OR OUTSIDE AT CAMP, YOUTH AND TEENS ARE LEARNING VALUES FROM POSITIVE ROLE MODELS WHO HELP EVERY CHILD TO SET AND ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS. WE HAVE OUR OWN GOALS FOR THE IMPACT OUR WORK HAS ON THE REGION AND THE FAMILIES WHO NEED US MOST. WITHIN ALLEGHENY COUNTY, AND NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IT`S BEEN PROVEN THAT CHILDREN FROM ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED HOUSEHOLDS EXPERIENCE A MEASURABLE GAP IN LEARNING. THAT EQUATES TO NEARLY 50,000 KIDS IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY WHOSE ACADEMIC FUTURES ARE AT RISK. THE Y IS STEPPING-UP, WORKING SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH PARENTS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS TO PROVIDE EVERY CHILD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED. SIMILAR TO THE 40 DEVELOPMENTAL ASSETS, THE Y IS INCORPORATING ASSET BUILDING THROUGHOUT OUR YOUTH AND TEEN PROGRAMMING. AT THE Y, CHILDREN LEARN VALUES AND POSITIVE BEHAVIORS, AND CAN EXPLORE THEIR UNIQUE TALENTS AND INTERESTS, HELPING THEM REALIZE THEIR POTENTIAL. THAT MAKES FOR CONFIDENT KIDS TODAY AND CONTRIBUTING AND ENGAGED ADULTS TOMORROW. WE`VE MADE SIGNIFICANT STRIDES IN PROVIDING AREA STUDENTS WITH WRAP-AROUND PROGRAMMING THAT SUPPORTS THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS. THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS IS LAID EARLY IN LIFE. INFANT, TODDLER AND PRESCHOOL CHILD DEVELOPMENT IS OFFERED THROUGH FOUR EARLY CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS SERVING OVER 125 CHILDREN. ALMOST ONE-FIFTH OF THOSE ENROLLED RECEIVE SUPPORT THROUGH YMCA FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IN PROGRAMS SUCH AS THESE, CHILDREN ARE CHALLENGED AND ENGAGED. AGE-APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES AND INTERACTION WITH TRAINED EDUCATORS FOSTER THE NURTURING ENVIRONMENT WE REQUIRE FOR OUR YOUNGEST, MOST PRECIOUS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS APPROACH, COUPLED WITH FAMILY ENGAGEMENT, PROVIDES THE ATMOSPHERE THAT CHILDREN NEED TO LEARN, GROW AND THRIVE. THE Y`S BEFORE AND AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM PROVIDES A SAFE PLACE TO LEARN FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS, DEVELOP HEALTHY, TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS AND BUILD SELF-RELIANCE. HERE WE PLANT THE SEEDS FOR LEARNING HOW TO PLAY, INTERACT AND LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. ENRICHMENT CURRICULUM, FIELD TRIPS, WELLNESS AND NUTRITION ARE PART OF ALL PROGRAMS. THESE SCHOOL-AGE PROGRAMS SERVE NEARLY 2,500 CHILDREN, OPERATING OUT OF 51 SITES INCLUDING SCHOOLS, THE Y FACILITIES AND HOUSING PROJECTS ACROSS ALLEGHENY COUNTY. IN ADDITION TO CCIS FUNDING, THE Y PROVIDES OVER $475,000 IN DIRECT SUBSIDIES TO OVER 300 FAMILIES WHO COULD NOT OTHERWISE AFFORD TO ENROLL THEIR CHILD(REN). THE Y`S LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT IS A COLLABORATIVE AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM FOR TEENS FROM WESTINGHOUSE HIGH SCHOOL. THE GOAL OF THE LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT IS TO HELP DEVELOP YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE CREATIVE, CIVICALLY ENGAGED AND PREPARED FOR CAREER OR COLLEGE. APPROXIMATELY 80 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE ANNUALLY, LEARNING LEADERSHIP SKILLS, AND CAREER READINESS THROUGH A CURRICULUM BASED ON THE MEDIA ARTS OF FILM, PHOTOGRAPHY, GRAPHIC DESIGN, AND MUSIC PRODUCTION. IN ADDITION TO THE MEDIA ART INSTRUCTION, TEENS PARTICIPATED IN ONE HOUR OF ACADEMIC SUPPORT EACH DAY THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH NEIGHBORHOOD LEARNING ALLIANCE. ACADEMIC SUPPORT INCLUDED HOMEWORK HELP, CREDIT RECOVERY, SMALL GROUP TUTORING AND SAT PREP. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, 100% OF SENIORS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE Y`S INNOVATIVE WESTINGHOUSE LIGHTHOUSE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM HAVE GRADUATED (COMPARED WITH 61% FOR GENERAL STUDENT BODY). TO HELP BRIDGE THE SUMMER LEARNING GAP, THE Y OFFERS A UNIQUE HALF-DAY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM AT NO COST FOR 2ND AND 3RD GRADERS WHO ARE PERFORMING AT OR BELOW GRADE LEVEL IN SEVEN ACADEMIC AREAS IN READING OR MATH: PHONEMIC AWARENESS; PHONICS AND WRITING; READING; OPERATIONS; NUMERCY; MEASUREMENT AND PATTERNS AND FUNCTIONS. THE STARFISH LITERACY PROGRAM EMPLOYS LICENSED TEACHERS TO DELIVER HANDS-ON LESSONS THAT ARE SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT SUMMER DRAIN AND INCREASE CHILDREN`S COMPETENCY LEVELS PRIOR TO THE START OF THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IS OFFERED AT THE Y`S CAMPS KON-O-KWEE SPENCER, T. FRANK SOLES AND DEER VALLEY. OPEN TO SCHOOL GROUPS FROM THROUGHOUT WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, OUR CAMPS DELIVER AN ADAPTABLE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF INTER-RELATIONSHIPS, CYCLES, AWARENESS, RESOURCES AND ENERGY FLOW. STAFF TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THEIR RUSTIC SETTINGS AS PARTICIPANTS ARE TAUGHT ABOUT INDIGENOUS PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE, SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH RECYCLING, COMPOSTING AND GREEN PRACTICES. COMBINED, THESE PROGRAMS ARE ENGAGING NEARLY 5,000 INDIVIDUALS ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THROUGH LEADERSHIP AND MENTORING PROGRAMS SUCH AS YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT AND COLLEGE PREPARATION WORKSHOPS, WE MAKE SURE THAT EVERY CHILD HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENVISION A POSITIVE FUTURE, AND TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN STRENGTHENING THE COMMUNITY. OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE Y`S TEEN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM HAS GROWN AND IS NOW OFFERED AT FOUR LOCATIONS. YMCA SWIMMING AND SPORTS PROGRAMS ARE THE STARTING POINT FOR MANY YOUTH TO LEARN ABOUT BECOMING AND STAYING ACTIVE, AND DEVELOPING HEALTHY HABITS THEY`LL CARRY WITH THEM THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES. AND 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 SPORTS AT THE Y IS ABOUT BUILDING THE WHOLE CHILD, FROM THE INSIDE OUT. ANNUALLY OVER 20,000 CHILDREN AND TEENS PARTICIPATE IN YMCA AQUATICS, YOUTH SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES. POSITIVE OUT-OF SCHOOL ACTIVITIES LIKE SUMMER CAMP ARE STRONG PREDICTORS OF FUTURE ACADEMIC SUCCESS-HIGHER TEST SCORES, LOWER ABSENTEEISM RATES, LOWER DROP-OUT RATES, COMPLETED HOMEWORK AND HIGHER GRADES. THE Y PROVIDES TRADITIONAL SUMMER DAY CAMP AT OVER 20 LOCATIONS. WITH A FOCUS OF ADDRESSING SUMMER LEARNING LOSS AND WEIGHT GAIN, DAY CAMP ALSO FEATURES A CURRICULUM THAT EMPHASIZES CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TEAM BUILDING, EXPLORATION OF SCIENCE AND NATURE, COMMUNITY SERVICE AND HEALTHY LIVING. Y DAY CAMPS GIVE KIDS A MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE AND A HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE TO UNSUPERVISED DAYS AND SCREEN-BASED ENTERTAINMENT. LAST YEAR, 2,200 CHILDREN TOOK PART IN OUR DAY CAMPS AND $185,000 IN YMCA FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED IN ADDITION TO CCIS OR OTHER THIRD PARTY FUNDING. THIS INCLUDES DIRECT SCHOLARSHIPS TO FAMILIES WHO COULD NOT OTHERWISE AFFORD TO ATTEND AS WELL AS THE INDIRECT SUBSIDIES THAT WERE DIRECTED TO OFFSET THE HIGH COST OF PROVIDING SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPING WHILE MAINTAINING A LEVEL OF AFFORDABILITY FOR THOSE FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS. WITH POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS HEALTH (PATH) CAMP, THE Y IS HELPING TO FIGHT OBESITY IN TEENS THROUGH A UNIQUE PROGRAM THAT COMBINES A CAMP EXPERIENCE WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE SUPPORT THROUGH A YMCA MEMBERSHIP AND FOLLOW-UP MEETINGS AND SOCIAL EVENTS. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE SO YOUNG PEOPLE FROM EVERY INCOME LEVEL CAN PARTICIPATE. AT YMCA CAMPS KON-O-KWEE SPENCER AND T. FRANK SOLES OVERNIGHT CAMPING IS AFFORDABLE TO ALL REGARDLESS OF FAMILY INCOME THROUGH OUR SEND KIDS TO CAMP PROGRAM. FAMILIES THAT ARE STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE FOR A NOMINAL FEE THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF OUR DONORS AND SPONSORS. THREE HUNDRED CHILDREN, INCLUDING THOSE IN OPERATION MILITARY KIDS, RECEIVED SCHOLARSHIPS THIS PAST YEAR. KON-O-KWEE SPENCER ALSO OFFERS A TEEN WILDERNESS & HIGH ADVENTURE CAMP WHICH HAS YIELDED SIGNIFICANT RESULTS IN DEVELOPING THE PARTICIPANTS` LEADERSHIP SKILLS. ACCORDING TO OUR PRE/POST SURVEY DATA, AFTER PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM CAMPERS` LIKELIHOOD TO LEAD OR HELP TO LEAD A CLUB OR TEAM INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AS DID THEIR OWN SENSE OF PURPOSE. FROM 990, PART III, LINE 4B HEALTHY LIVING MANY PEOPLE KNOW THE Y FOR FITNESS. BUT, THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, ONE IN FIVE RESIDENTS OF SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA DESCRIBES THEIR HEALTH AS FAIR OR POOR. OUR NEIGHBORS ARE FACING A HEALTH CRISIS, BATTLING DIABETES, OBESITY AND OTHER PREVENTABLE CHRONIC DISEASES. THE Y IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS BATTLE, EQUIPPING PEOPLE WITH KNOWLEDGE AND ACCESS TO PROGRAMS AND FACILITIES THAT CAN CHANGE THEIR FUTURES AND IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT HEALTHY LIFESTYLES ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH NURTURING MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT, WELL-BEING AND FITNESS AT THE Y INCLUDES MORE THAN JUST WORKING OUT. IN ADDITION TO OUR PHYSICAL FITNESS CLASSES AND FACILITIES, WE PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO PROMOTE HEALTHIER DECISIONS, AND OFFER A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT PHYSICAL, INTELLECTUAL AND SPIRITUAL STRENGTH. ONE SUCH PROGRAM IS THE YMCA DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH, THE Y`S DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM CAN REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF TYPE II DIABETES BY NEARLY 60%. AVAILABLE AT LOW OR NO COST TO QUALIFIED PARTICIPANTS, THIS IS JUST ONE WAY THE Y OF GREATER PITTSBURGH IS IMPACTING THE HEALTH OF OUR REGION. OTHERS INCLUDE FREE RESOURCES LIKE HEALTH FAIRS AND SCREENINGS, AND NUTRITIONAL AND WELLNESS WORKSHOPS FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN. THE YMCA DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO OVER 130 PARTICIPANTS AT 10 LOCATIONS. THE PROGRAM IS SET TO ADD DOZENS OF NEW COHORTS IN THE COMING YEAR. TAKING PART IN Y WELLNESS PROGRAMS IS ABOUT MORE THAN WEIGHT LOSS. IT PROVIDES THOSE WITH LIMITED RESOURCES ACCESS TO REAL SOLUTIONS FOR DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF EXPENSIVE CHRONIC CONDITIONS. FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS WITH LOW INCOMES ARE OFTEN AMONG THOSE WITH HIGH HEALTH RISK FACTORS FOR DISEASES LIKE DIABETES, SMOKING RELATED ILLNESSES OR POOR NUTRITION BECAUSE OF LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS. ANNUALLY, THE Y INVESTS NEARLY $420,000 IN OUR NEIGHBORS` HEALTH THROUGH MEMBERSHIP SUBSIDIES. THE COST OF MANAGING OUR REGION`S HEALTH ISSUES IS A SIZABLE BURDEN FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO BEAR. AN EFFICIENT STRATEGY TO KEEP THESE COSTS DOWN IS TO KEEP THE POPULATION HEALTHIER. THE Y FACILITATES EARLY DETECTION, MITIGATING COSTS BECAUSE AT AN EARLY STAGE, TREATMENT OPTIONS ARE GREATER, THE COST IS LESS AND THE OUTCOMES ARE BETTER. WE KNOW THAT INCREASING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DURING CHILDHOOD IS KEY IN SUCCESSFULLY PREVENTING HEALTH PROBLEMS LATER IN LIFE LIKE TYPE II DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, OBESITY AND CANCER. AREA KIDS CLOCKED ALMOST 9,600 HOURS OF BEING PHYSICALLY ACTIVE AND ENGAGED IN WEEKLY Y YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE Y HAS BEEN ABLE TO ENSURE ACCESS TO HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAMS IN SOME OF SOME OF PITTSBURGH`S MOST ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGH OUR FACILITIES IN HOMEWOOD, MCKEESPORT, THE NORTH SIDE, HAZELWOOD AND THE HILL DISTRICT. THESE LOCATIONS AND PROGRAM SERVICE SITES RECEIVE IN EXCESS OF $850,000 IN INDIRECT SUBSIDIES, ENABLING THEM TO MAINTAIN OPERATIONS, SUPPORTING A QUALITY OF LIFE AND A SENSE OF COMMUNITY. IN DOING SO, THE Y IS ABLE TO MAINTAIN AN OPEN-DOOR POLICY TO THOSE IN NEED. THE Y`S FOCUS ON FAMILIES EXTENDS WELL BEYOND SUPPORT SERVICES TO INCLUDE PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS NEARLY ALL NEEDS A FAMILY MAY HAVE OVER THE COURSE OF A LIFETIME. LAST YEAR WE SERVED OVER 500 FAMILIES IN BUILDING STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS AS THEY ENGAGED WITH US TO OVERCOME DIFFICULT TIMES, PURSUE HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES, LEARN MORE ABOUT THEMSELVES AND IMPORTANT RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM THROUGHOUT THE REGION. ANNUALLY, IN APRIL, THE Y JOINS YMCAS ACROSS THE NATION TO CELEBRATE HEALTHY KIDS DAY. LOCALLY, WE USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PULL COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND PARTNER WITH LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS TO HOST FREE EVENTS AT OUR LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. LAST YEAR WE ENGAGED OVER 500 CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS IN ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO BUILD FUN AND EXCITEMENT AROUND FITNESS AND NUTRITION. RESOURCES SUCH AS KID-FRIENDLY NUTRITIOUS RECIPES, FUN, PHYSICAL GAMES THAT CAN BE PLAYED AT HOME AND SUGGESTIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR OUTDOOR PLAY, SLEEP AND SCREEN TIME, ARE ALL PROVIDED FREE TO THOSE WHO VISIT THE EVENT OR OUR WEBSITE. PARENT-CHILD PROGRAMS ARE A HALLMARK OF THE YMCA MOVEMENT. ADVENTURE GUIDES, ONCE KNOWN AS THE INDIAN GUIDES/PRINCESSES, IS A UNIQUE FATHER-CHILD PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES SPECIAL ONE-ON-ONE EXPERIENCES THAT MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE BE HAD, DUE TO BUSY SCHEDULES AND STRAINS ON TIME. ORGANIZED INTO LOCAL GROUPS, OVER 1,100 FATHERS AND CHILDREN ENJOYED SCHEDULED EVENTS SUCH AS OVERNIGHT CAMPING, ICE CREAM SOCIALS, MINIATURE GOLF AND OTHER OUTDOOR FUN. THESE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY GENERATIONS OF FATHERS AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT INVESTMENTS OF TIME THEY EVER MADE WITH THEIR CHILDREN. ANOTHER LEGACY IN THE Y`S SERVICE TO FAMILIES IS DEER VALLEY YMCA FAMILY CAMP. NOW OVER 50 YEARS OLD, DEER VALLEY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST FAMILY CAMPS IN THE NATIONAL YMCA SYSTEM AND SERVES OVER 1,000 FAMILIES ANNUALLY. ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS QUIET TIME ARE PLANNED BY THE SKILLED STAFF; SOMETIMES THE DEER VALLEY EXPERIENCE IS THE FIRST IN A LONG TIME FAMILIES HAVE SPENT QUALITY TIME TOGETHER WITHOUT HAVING TO COMPETE WITH ISSUES OF SCHOOL, WORK OR PREOCCUPATIONS WITH ELECTRONICS AND MEDIA. THE SIMPLE ACT OF EATING MEALS TOGETHER IS A KNOWN CONDUIT TO CONVERSATION AND SHARING, WHICH LEADS TO REDUCTION OF ALIENATION AND RISK-TAKING BEHAVIORS IN YOUNG ADULTS. THE Y IS A HUB OF COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE COME TOGETHER FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION AND PERSONAL ENRICHMENT. THIS INTERACTION AND CONNECTION TO A LARGER COMMUNITY PLAYS A BIG ROLE IN KEEPING SENIORS ENGAGED AND HEALTHY. IN ADDITION TO OCCASIONAL ADULT LEISURE AND INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS, SEVERAL Y BRANCHES SCHEDULE BI-MONTHLY ACTIVITIES SUCH AS TRIPS TO LOCAL ATTRACTIONS, LECTURES, BOOK CLUBS, AND ARTS AND HUMANITY WORKSHOPS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TIMES ARE TOUGH FOR MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS. FORTUNATELY, PITTSBURGHERS, AND THE Y, HAVE A KNACK FOR COMING TOGETHER TO HELP. YMCA PROGRAMS LIKE THE FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER, OUR COMMUNITY TECHNOLOGY CENTERS, HOPE FOR ALL, FREE TAX PREPARATION, WORK FORCE TRAINING, AND SINGLE-RESIDENT HOUSING HELP OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES AND PLACE THEM ON A PATH TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY. TOGETHER WE ARE WORKING TO MAKE SURE EVERY CHILD, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY HAS WHAT THEY NEED TO ACHIEVE THEIR BEST. ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL PROBLEMS FACING OUR URBAN COMMUNITIES TODAY IS FOOD SECURITY. IN PITTSBURGH, 47% OF OUR NEIGHBORS LACK CONVENIENT ACCESS TO SUPERMARKETS, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN FRESH AND NUTRITIOUS FOODS. COMPARED TO OTHER CITIES OF THE SAME SIZE, PITTSBURGH HAS THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE RESIDING IN FOOD DESERTS. BY DELIVERING HEALTHY SNACKS AND MEALS THROUGH OUR AFTER SCHOOL AND DAY CAMP PROGRAMS, THE Y IS HELPING TO MAKE SURE KIDS ARE GETTING THE NUTRITION THEY NEED TO PROSPER. WE PROVIDED 340,000 HEALTHY SNACKS AND MEALS TO KIDS IN OUR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS LAST YEAR. ACROSS THE Y`S EIGHT URBAN & SUBURBAN GARDENS, 1,310 POUNDS OF PRODUCE WERE HARVESTED AND SHARED. THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AND SCHOOL YEAR, 172 CHILDREN USED THOSE GARDENS AS A CLASSROOM TO LEARN ABOUT HEALTHY EATING AND SUSTAINABILITY. YMCA FARM STANDS ARE STOCKED WITH THE PRODUCE FROM OUR URBAN GARDENS AND PROVDE FRESH PRODUCE FOR OVER 1,300 PEOPLE WE SERVED 91,000 HEALTHY MEALS THROUGH COMMUNITY DINING. OUR FOOD PANTRIES PROVIDED MONTHLY GROCERIES FOR 1,500 FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS. Y-BASED EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE HELPED 230 INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. NO MATTER WHAT CHALLENGES LAY BEFORE US, WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER, WE CAN MOVE PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES FORWARD. THE KEY TO ACHIEVING THESE GOALS IS TO INCLUDE EVERYONE IN THE PROCESS. THE Y` S COMMITMENT TO INCLUSION ENCOMPASSES ALL THAT WE DO. FROM PROVIDING DAY AND OVERNIGHT CAMPING FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, TO ENSURING THAT ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES HAVE ACCESS TO BASIC SERVICES AND AMENITIES FOR A HEALTHY LIFE, THE Y IS PAVING THE WAY FOR PERSONAL SUCCESS. ROUGHLY 10,000 PEOPLE IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY FACE CHALLENGES ACROSS A SPECTRUM OF PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL ABILITIES. MORE THAN 26,000 HOURS WERE SPENT IN SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPING, UTILIZING FOUR DEDICATED PROGRAMS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT KIDS AND ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS THROUGH MOTIVATION, COMPANIONSHIP AND PEER CONNECTION. IN ADDITION TO THE ADAPTIVE DAY CAMP PROGRAM, THE Y ALSO PROVIDES AN OVERNIGHT AND RETREAT EXPERIENCE FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CHALLENGES. THE SPENCER FACILITY AT YMCA CAMP KON-O-KWEE SPENCER GIVES CHALLENGED CAMPERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE OUT-OF-DOORS FIRST HAND. CAMPERS HAVE THE CHANCE TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATURAL SURROUNDINGS, DEVELOP NEW FRIENDSHIPS AND HAVE FUN IN A WIDE VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES PROVIDED TO CAPTURE THEIR INTEREST. IT IS NEITHER OUR INTENTION NOR DESIRE TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING OR THERAPY. RATHER, THE SESSIONS ARE GEARED TOWARDS FUN AND ENJOYMENT THAT MAKE FOR SOCIAL AND PERSONAL GROWTH AND A MEMORABLE CAMP EXPERIENCE. THE YMCA CAMP SPENCER IS ACCREDITED BY THE AMERICAN CAMP ASSOCIATION (ACA). LAST YEAR, WE HOSTED OVER 2,000 CAMPERS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS THROUGH THE Y`S CAMP SPENCER ALL STARS. SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS ARE PRIMARILY DELIVERED THROUGH OUR BRANCHES IN HOMEWOOD, THE HILL DISTRICT, HAZELWOOD, MCKEESPORT AND THE NORTHSIDE AND IMPACT THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES EACH YEAR. OFTEN THE LESSER-KNOWN WORK OF THE Y, THESE PROGRAMS ARE IN PLACE TO SUPPORT OUR NEIGHBOR`S STRUGGLE FOR BASIC NEEDS AND CAPACITY BUILDING FOR THEIR FUTURE SUCCESS. JOB EMPLOYMENT SERVICES PROVIDE INDIVIDUALS WITH ASSISTANCE ON EMPLOYMENT SEARCHING, JOB READINESS SKILLS, RESUME BUILDING, AND APPLYING FOR EMPLOYMENT-RELATED BENEFITS. FINANCIAL EDUCATION WORKSHOPS PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR INCLUDE SUBJECT AREAS LIKE TAX PREPARATION, CREDIT REPAIR AND HOME BUYING. OUR FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER SERVES 100 FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AGES 0-5 YEARS THROUGH ITS PARENTS AND TEACHERS PROGRAM. FOR FINANCIALLY STRUGGLING FAMILIES, THE COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM, HOPE FOR ALL, LEVERAGES RESOURCES, RELATIONSHIPS AND REFERRAL NETWORKS TO PROVIDE PRE-SCREENED FAMILIES IN TARGETED COMMUNITIES WITH ACCESS TO BENEFITS THROUGH THE BENEFIT BANK; SERVICES ALSO INCLUDE FREE TAX AND FAFSA PREPARATION; AND COORDINATE DIRECT AND/OR REFERRAL SERVICES TO FINANCIALLY VULNERABLE FAMILIES ACROSS MULTI-SERVICE SYSTEMS. HOPE FOR ALL ALSO CONVENES LOCAL AND STATE OFFICIALS AND KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF BENEFITS ACCESS ISSUES AND DEVELOPS STRATEGIES TO HELP STABILIZE FINANCIALLY STRUGGLING FAMILIES. AMONG THOSE SERVED BY HOPE FOR ALL, AFTER INITIALLY BEING SERVED BY YMCA STAFF, FAMILIES RETURN TO THE BENEFIT BANK SITE-UNASSISTED-TO SEARCH FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES AS NEEDS ARISE. ACCORDING TO REPORTS GENERATED BY THE ONLINE SITE, MORE THAN 11.6% OF INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE INITIALLY EDUCATED AND SERVED BY YMCA STAFF HAVE RETURNED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE TO THE BENEFIT BANK SITE TO SEARCH AND ENROLL IN OTHER STATE AND FEDERAL BENEFIT PROGRAMS. THROUGH OUR FREE TAX SERVICE, 840 TAX RETURNS WERE PREPARED BY VOLUNTEERS YIELDING $749,519 THAT COMMUNITY RESIDENTS WERE ABLE TO PUT BACK INTO THEIR POCKETS. THE Y OF GREATER PITTSBURGH HAS PROVIDED HOUSING SINCE ITS INCEPTION OVER 160 YEARS AGO. UNDERSTANDING THAT NO PERSON CAN LEARN, GROW AND THRIVE UNTIL HIS/HER BASIC NEEDS ARE MET, THE Y PROVIDES FOOD AND SHELTER WITHIN A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY THAT WELCOMES ALL. BASED AT OUR TWO MOST HISTORIC LOCATIONS, THE ALLEGHENY YMCA AND THE CENTRE AVENUE YMCA HOUSING PROGRAMS PROVIDE SINGLE OCCUPANCY ROOMS FOR MEN. TOGETHER, THE TWO BRANCHES SERVED JUST OVER 300 MEN AND PROVIDED OVER $20,000 IN SUBSIDIES. THE GENEROSITY OF OTHERS IS AT THE CORE OF OUR EXISTENCE. IT IS ONLY THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF OUR THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEERS AND PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DONORS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. BEYOND PROVIDING SERVICES AND SUBSIDIES TO INDIVIDUALS, WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SUPPORT OUR FELLOW NON-PROFITS AND COMMUNITY AGENCIES THROUGH DONATED SERVICES, FACILITY USAGE AND COLLABORATIONS. THROUGH THE Y, VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED 92,093 HOURS OF SERVICE TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY LIVE. WHEN NEEDS OVERLAP, WE LEAD CHANGE AND PULL TOGETHER DRIVING INNOVATION FOR THE SOCIAL WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY FUNDERS, THE THELMA LOVETTE YMCA DELIVERS AN OFF-SITE PROGRAM FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE HILLTOP COMMUNITY IN PITTSBURGH. BY PROMOTING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL LITERACY, CULTURAL AWARENESS, AND YOUTH ADVOCACY, WE ARE CREATING A BETTER FUTURE FOR PITTSBURGH WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON SOME OF OUR NEWEST NEIGHBORS AND CITIZENS. THIS STORE-FRONT OPERATION SERVES 4,000 PEOPLE ANNUALLY PROVIDING FREE ACCESS TO COMPUTERS, HIGH-SPEED INTERNET, AND FREE TRAINING IN TECHNOLOGY. IT ALSO PROVIDES ACCESS TO GED PREP COURSES, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS, BASIC COMPUTER HELP, AND ASSISTANCE WITH SOCIAL SERVICE APPLICATIONS, RESUME WRITING, AND JOB SEARCHING. WIDELY USED BY NEIGHBORS OF ALL AGES, THE HILLTOP COMPUTER CENTER HOSTS REGULAR WORKSHOPS AND OFFERS CHILDREN A SAFE AND SUPERVISED ONLINE ENVIRONMENT. ON AVERAGE, ABOUT 23% OF THE HILLTOP`S USERS ARE BHUTANESE REFUGEES.
