THE Y IS STEPPING-UP, WORKING SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH PARENTS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS TO PROVIDE EVERY CHILD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED THROUGH: - A FOCUS ON 21ST CENTURY SKILLS THROUGH STEAM BASED PROGRAMS (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ARTS AND MATH), - VALUES BASED EXPERIENCES PROMOTING POSITIVE BEHAVIORS AND EXPLORATION OF UNIQUE TALENTS AND INTERESTS, AND - WHERE NECESSARY, WRAP AROUND PROGRAMMING ADDRESSING NEEDS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL SO STUDENTS ARE READY TO LEARN AND ACHIEVE AT SCHOOL. OUR EFFORTS TO CLOSE THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP DURING THE PAST YEAR INCLUDED: SCHOOL AGE PROGRAMS - THE Y'S BEFORE AND AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS PROVIDE A SAFE PLACE TO LEARN FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS, DEVELOP HEALTHY, TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS AND BUILD SELF-RELIANCE. SERVING OVER 1,500 CHILDREN IN 46 SITES ACROSS ALLEGHENY COUNTY, WE PLANT THE SEEDS FOR LEARNING HOW TO PLAY, INTERACT WITH OTHERS AND LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES, FIELD TRIPS, WELLNESS AND NUTRITION ARE PART OF ALL PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION TO CCIS FUNDING, THE Y PROVIDES OVER $330,000 IN DIRECT SUBSIDIES TO OVER 300 FAMILIES WHO COULD NOT OTHERWISE AFFORD TO ENROLL THEIR CHILD(REN). - THE Y'S LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT IS A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM FOR TEENS AT WESTINGHOUSE HIGH SCHOOL. APPROXIMATELY 80 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE ANNUALLY LEARNING LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND CAREER READINESS THROUGH A CURRICULUM BASED ON THE MEDIA ARTS, INCLUDING FILM, PHOTOGRAPHY, GRAPHIC DESIGN, AND MUSIC PRODUCTION. IN ADDITION TO THE CURRICULUM AND THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH NEIGHBORHOOD LEARNING ALLIANCE, TEENS RECEIVE ONE HOUR OF ACADEMIC SUPPORT EACH DAY (INCLUDING HOMEWORK HELP, CREDIT RECOVERY, GROUP TUTORING AND SAT PREP), AS WELL AS AN EVENING MEAL AND A RIDE HOME. OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, 100% OF SENIORS PARTICIPATING IN THE WESTINGHOUSE LIGHTHOUSE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM HAVE GRADUATED (COMPARED WITH 83% FOR GENERAL STUDENT BODY). - THE STARFISH LITERACY PROGRAM EMPLOYS LICENSED TEACHERS TO DELIVER HANDS-ON LESSONS TO 2ND AND 3RD GRADERS PERFORMING AT OR BELOW GRADE LEVEL IN READING OR MATH. LAST SCHOOL YEAR, STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM EXCEEDED THE 80% TARGET IN PHONICS, READING AND MATH. - YMCA CREATOR SPACE (YCS) IDENTIFIES AS A UNIQUE 'THIRD SPACE' THAT ACTS AS THE SWEET SPOT BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL FOR NEIGHBORHOOD YOUTH. CURRENTLY OPERATING IN THE HILLTOP AND HOMEWOOD YMCAS, AS WELL AS THE ALLENTOWN LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT CENTER IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BRASHEAR ASSOCIATION, YCS IS A YEAR-ROUND INITIATIVE SERVING OVER 400 YOUTH ANNUALLY. THE ULTIMATE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO EXPLORE AND LEARN STEAM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ARTS AND MATH) THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO HELP KIDS LEARN HOW TO THINK, NOT WHAT TO THINK, BY TEACHING THE MENTAL MODEL OF DESIGN THINKING. EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS INFANT, TODDLER AND PRESCHOOL CHILD DEVELOPMENT IS OFFERED THROUGH FIVE EARLY CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS SERVING OVER 200 CHILDREN. 12% OF THOSE ENROLLED RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE YMCA. CHILDREN ARE CHALLENGED AND ENGAGED BY TRAINED EDUCATORS THROUGH AGE-APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES THAT FOSTER A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE YOUNGEST MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THIS APPROACH, COUPLED WITH FAMILY ENGAGEMENT, PROVIDES THE ATMOSPHERE THAT CHILDREN NEED TO LEARN, GROW AND THRIVE. OUTDOOR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IS OFFERED AT THE Y'S CAMPS KON-O-KWEE SPENCER, T. FRANK SOLES AND DEER VALLEY. OPEN TO SCHOOL GROUPS 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 TAKES FULL ADVANTAGE OF THEIR RUSTIC SETTINGS TO TEACH PARTICIPANTS ABOUT INDIGENOUS PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE, SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH RECYCLING, COMPOSTING AND GREEN PRACTICES. COMBINED, THESE PROGRAMS ARE ENGAGING NEARLY 5,000 INDIVIDUALS ANNUALLY. OUT OF SCHOOL ACTIVITIES - 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 THROUGH THEIR LIVES. AND THE BENEFITS ARE FAR GREATER THAN JUST PHYSICAL HEALTH. PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS AT THE Y IS ABOUT BUILDING THE WHOLE CHILD, FROM THE INSIDE OUT WHETHER THROUGH LEARNING TO SWIM OR BUILDING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS. EACH YEAR 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 GROWING FOCUS ON STEMMING 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, 2,274 CHILDREN TOOK PART IN OUR DAY CAMPS. YMCA FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED IN ADDITION TO CCIS OR OTHER THIRD PARTY FUNDING. THIS INCLUDES 264 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. - OUR SEND KIDS TO CAMP SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM MAKES OVERNIGHT CAMPING AT YMCA CAMP KON-O-KWEE SPENCER AND YMCA CAMP T. FRANK SOLES AFFORDABLE REGARDLESS OF FAMILY INCOME. LAST YEAR 473 SCHOLARSHIPS WERE AWARDED TO FINANCIALLY STRUGGLING FAMILIES AS WELL AS THE CHILDREN OF VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY. - CAMP KON-O-KWEE SPENCER ALSO OFFERS A TEEN WILDERNESS & HIGH ADVENTURE CAMP WHICH HAS YIELDED SIGNIFICANT RESULTS IN DEVELOPING PARTICIPANTS' LEADERSHIP SKILLS. PRE/POST SURVEY DATA, INDICATES A CAMPER'S LIKELIHOOD TO LEAD OR HELP TO LEAD A CLUB OR TEAM INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AS A RESULT OF PARTICIPATION, AS DID THEIR OWN SENSE OF PURPOSE. FROM 990, PART III, LINE 4B HEALTHY LIVING- COMBATTING HEALTH DISPARITIES 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. A SAMPLING OF THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDES: - THE YMCA DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES 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. THE YMCA DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO 160 PARTICIPANTS IN 20 COHORTS SINCE IMPLEMENTATION. THE PROGRAM IS SET TO CONTINUE 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 $1.2 MILLION IN OUR NEIGHBORS' HEALTH THROUGH MEMBERSHIP AND PROGRAM SUBSIDIES. - IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEMBERSHIP AND PROGRAMS, 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 OVER $3.25 MILLION 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. - EACH YEAR IN APRIL, THE Y JOINS YMCAS ACROSS THE NATION TO CELEBRATE HEALTHY KIDS DAY. LOCALLY, WE USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO POOL COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND PARTNER WITH LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS TO HOST FREE EVENTS PROMOTING HEALTHY ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN. LAST YEAR WE ENGAGED 1,000 CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS/GUARDIANS AT HEINZ FIELD IN ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO BUILD FUN AND EXCITEMENT AROUND FITNESS AND NUTRITION. FUN ACTIVITIES, KID-FRIENDLY AND NUTRITIOUS RECIPES, AND PHYSICAL GAMES THAT CAN BE PLAYED AT HOME, ALONG WITH 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, FUNDRAISING TO SUPPORT LOCAL CAUSES AND OTHER OUTDOOR FUN AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. 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 WITH 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 FOR SENIORS SUCH AS TRIPS TO LOCAL ATTRACTIONS, LECTURES, BOOK CLUBS, AND ARTS AND HUMANITY WORKSHOPS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY- SUPPORTING OUR NEIGHBORS AND ADDRESSING FOOD INSECURITY TIMES ARE TOUGH FOR MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS. FORTUNATELY, PITTSBURGHERS, AND THE Y, HAVE A KNACK FOR COMING TOGETHER TO HELP EACH OTHER. 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 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. OUR Y WORKS TO ALLEVIATE THE NEED THROUGH A VARIETY OF STRATEGICALLY PLACED PROGRAMS: - 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 GROW AND THRIVE. OVER 73,000 KIDS IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED-RATE SCHOOL LUNCHES. CHILDREN CAN'T LEARN WHEN THEY ARE HUNGRY. TO HELP ADDRESS THE NEED, THE Y SERVED 747,499 MEALS AND 625,347 HEALTHY SNACKS LAST YEAR. - ACROSS THE Y'S THREE URBAN GARDENS, 1,251 POUNDS OF PRODUCE WERE HARVESTED WITH THE GENEROUS TIME AND ENERGY DONATED BY 200 VOLUNTEERS INVESTING OVER 500 HOURS OF DONATED TIME. - THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AND SCHOOL YEAR, MORE THAN 120 CHILDREN USED THOSE GARDENS AS A CLASSROOM TO LEARN ABOUT HEALTHY EATING AND SUSTAINABILITY. - YMCA FARM STAND AT THE HOMEWOOD Y WAS STOCKED WITH PRODUCE FROM OUR URBAN GARDENS AND PROVIDED FRESH PRODUCE FOR OVER 1,300 PEOPLE - PRODUCE WAS ALSO DISTRIBUTED VIA FITUNITED, A UNITED WAY OF ALLEGHENY PROGRAM, PROVIDING FRESH PRODUCE TO PRIVATELY RUN DAYCARES IN HOMEWOOD. - Y COMMUNITY DINING PROGRAMS SERVED 14,440 HOT MEALS AT THREE OF OUR BRANCHES. WE ADMINISTER A FEDERAL FOOD PROGRAM WHICH HELPS AN AVERAGE OF 3,278 PEOPLE EVERY MONTH. LAST YEAR, WE SERVED 730,262 MEALS ACROSS MORE THAN 284 SITES. - THE EMERGENCY FOOD PANTRY AT THE HAZELWOOD Y SERVED 1,100 INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES, OVER HALF OF WHOM WERE VETERANS. 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. OUR Y ENSURES NO-ONE IS LEFT BEHIND BY PROVIDING: - ADAPTIVE DAY CAMP PROGRAM SERVING MORE THAN 150 CHILDREN AT THREE SITES, AND - OVERNIGHT AND RETREAT EXPERIENCES FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CHALLENGES. THE SPENCER SUPERSTARS AT YMCA CAMP KON-O-KWEE SPENCER GIVES CHALLENGED CAMPERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE OUT-OF-DOORS FIRST HAND. CAMPERS LEARN ABOUT THEIR NATURAL SURROUNDINGS, DEVELOP NEW FRIENDSHIPS AND PARTICIPATE IN A WIDE VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO ENGAGE AND STIMULATE. 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 232 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. THESE PROGRAMS ARE IN PLACE TO ASSIST OUR NEIGHBORS IN ACCESSING BASIC NEEDS WHILE BUILDING CAPACITY FOR FUTURE SUCCESS. - JOB EMPLOYMENT SERVICES PROVIDES 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, HOPE FOR ALL (A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH YWCA), 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. LAST YEAR, WELL OVER 2,000 FAMILIES WERE ASSISTED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. - DOZENS OF VOLUNTEERS DONATED THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF FREE TAX PREPARATION COMPLETING 1,000 TAX RETURNS AT THE HAZELWOOD AND HOMEWOOD YMCA'S LAST YEAR, RETURNING $1.8 MILLION BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. - THE Y OF GREATER PITTSBURGH HAS PROVIDED SINGLE RESIDENT OCCUPANCY HOUSING SINCE ITS INCEPTION OVER 158 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 $90,000 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, 2,389 VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED 51,271 HOURS OF SERVICE, CONTRIBUTING $1.2 MILLION BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
