Annual Campaign

EXTEND YOUR IMPACT

When a person joins the Y, their passion and purpose are added to our mission as we slowly and steadily become a stronger, healthier community.

Yet when that same individual gives to the Y, they extend their impact exponentially through the support the Y provides our neighbors each and every day. Like tossing a stone into water, individual generosity creates a ripple effect throughout the community that allows more people to belong, more healthy lifestyles created, and more young people finding a safe space to learn, grow, and thrive.

The YMCA Annual Campaign invites every member of our community to multiply the mission by casting their stone and start a chain reaction of impact that transcends what the Y could do on its own.

BUILDING BELONGING

At the Y, we believe that without Belonging, our work to create a more just and inclusive community for all will never be realized. Our welcoming network of support helps people from all walks of life find the encouragement and tools they need to thrive not regardless of who they are, but because of who they are.

Every day, the Y supports kids, adults and families who need us most with programs that protect, teach, connect, heal, nourish and encourage. It’s how we empower communities and the “us” who live in them to realize their incredible possibilities and full potential. We can’t do it alone. We count on the generosity of our donors to make a better us possible. Every dollar donated stays local and helps address our community’s most critical needs.

ACCESS FOR ALL

The Y is a non-profit health and human services organization committed to helping people grow in spirit, mind and body. We beloeve that every person should have an oppotunity to participate and pursure their own personal goals regardless of skill or financial status. To ensure equitable access for all, income-based financial assistance allows everyone access to the Y’s life-changing programs and services regardless of economic barriers.

HEALTH EQUITY

Health equity is achieved when everyone has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible and no one is disadvantaged because of race, gender, socio-economics or other circumstances. The YMCA is focused on creating equitable and sustainable solutions that address both the immediate needs of the community and the systemic root causes that lead to inequalities.

HEALTHY LIVING

The YMCA aims to improve our nation’s health by providing programs and activities that promote overall well-being, no matter where you are on your journey toward better health. And when people feel their best and have fufilling lifestyles, their communities become stronger, too.

BEST SUMMER EVER

For some kids, summer means family vacations, playing with friends, and taking a dip in a nearby pool or lake. Yet for others, it means a lack of supervision, a widening of the achievement gap, or a loss of the critical support systems that allow them to be happy, healthy, and thriving. The Y is here to change that. We envision a summer where all kids have equitable access to welcoming spaces to belong, safe opportunities to swim, and fun activities that help build lifelong memories.

We’re working along side our partners, donors, and neighbors to increase opportunities for kids to safely have the best summer ever… and we need your help.

CAMP JACKSON

We believe that the camp experience is transformational. At YMCA Camp Jackson, located on 320 acres of San Isabel National Forest in Rye, Colorado, we promote character development, celebrate diversity, encourage service-learning, and teach our participants leadership skills. Scholarships assure that more kids, regardless of financial capacity, can experience true camp magic.

SUMMER ADVENTURE CAMP

YMCA Summer Adventure Camp gives kids the chance to make new friends, learn new skills, and interact with nature. Serving hundreds of thousands of kids and teens, while offering a great first job for young adults, our camps teach young people how to be more independent and contribute to a group as they engage in physical, social and educational activities.

WATER SAFETY & SWIMMING

Drowning can happen nearly anywhere with standing water – but as a parent or caregiver, you can’t keep your kids sidelined. By equipping kids with the rools they need to be confident in and around water, they’ll be able to reap the health benefits of exercise, bond with family and friends and take pride in their new skills – safely.

BRIGHT MINDS, BRIGHT FUTURES

The Y’s early learning, out-of-school time, and teen leadership offering are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids and young people, the support parents and families need, and the importance of maintaining a safe, clean environment for children to learn and thrive. At the Y, infants develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world, and school-age kids make friends, learn new skills and get help with their schoolwork.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER

YMCA Child Development programs inspire kids and families to be the best they can be in mind, body and spirit. The Y believes that each child should be recognized as an individual, and treated with respect and inclusivity in regards to gender race, socioeconomics, family status, faith, and abilities. We are committed to helping children become lifelong learners, have fun, and make new friends.

AFTERSCHOOL & OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME PROGRAMS

Our after-school programs provide a space for transformative learning experiences in a caring setting during these critical hours that help young people discover what they love to do. We provide continued structure for kids all while encouraging skill building, creative exploration, physical activity, and most of all, fun!

TEEN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS

At the Y, we understand that investing in our young people is one of the best ways we can strengthen the furute of our community. That’s why we offer a variety of programs and experiences that allow teens to express themselves, engage with the world around them, and learn how to build healthy relationships with their peers and the world around them. With the help of role models and mentors, these teens develop the skills they need to lead positive change in their community.
