ORGANIZATION MISSION STATEMENT FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 TO TRANSLATE THE PRINCIPLES OF THE YMCA'S CHRISTIAN HERITAGE INTO PROGRAMS THAT NURTURE CHILDREN, STRENGTHEN FAMILIES, BUILD COMMUNITIES AND DEVELOP HEALTHY MINDS, SPIRITS AND BODIES FOR ALL. AT THE YMCA, DEVELOPING CHARACTER IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND ALL OF OUR INITIATIVES. BY TEACHING THE VALUES OF CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY, WE ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS TO DO GOOD WORK, AND PROVIDE THEM WITH THE SKILLS TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS. BUILDING STRONG CHARACTER IS THE CORNERSTONE WE USE TO BUILD STRONG KIDS, STRONG FAMILIES AND STRONG COMMUNITIES. PROGRAM SERVICE STATEMENT FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY, WITH 156 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE REGION'S CHILDREN, ADULTS, AND FAMILIES, NOW SERVES MORE THAN 140,000 INDIVIDUALS THROUGH A WIDE RANGE OF YMCA CORE PROGRAMS AT 11 LOCATIONS AND CURRENTLY 52 PROGRAMS SITES IN DELAWARE, MONTGOMERY, AND PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES. PROGRAMS INCLUDE HEALTH AND WELLNESS, AQUATICS, CHILD CARE AND YOUTH AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS, YOUTH SPORTS LEAGUES, SUMMER DAY CAMPS, TEEN LEADERSHIP CLUBS, Y ACHIEVERS, ADULT EDUCATION AND GED PREPARATION, ESL CLASSES, AND WORKFORCE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT. THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY IS THE LARGEST NON-PROFIT PROVIDER OF CHILD CARE AND, IN ALL ITS PROGRAMS, SEEKS TO STRENGTHEN WHOLE COMMUNITIES, FAMILIES, AND INDIVIDUALS. THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY FULFILLS ITS NON-PROFIT OBLIGATIONS IN MULTIPLE WAYS: THROUGH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SUBSIDIES FOR PARTICIPATION IN MEMBERSHIP AND PROGRAMS, AND THROUGH TARGETED GRANT PROGRAMS ADDRESSING SPECIFIC NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. IN ADDITION TO MEMBERSHIP DUES AND PROGRAM SERVICE FEES, THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY RAISED $5,689,711 IN GRANTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS IN 2010. IN THE SAME YEAR, THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PROVIDED $3,205,024 IN SUBSIDIES TO OVER 6,000 INDIVIDUALS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE FULL COST OF OUR SERVICES. THE THREE LARGEST PROGRAM SERVICE AREAS OF THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY FOR 2010 WERE: 1) HEALTHY LIVING (HEALTH AND WELL-BEING FOR ALL) 2) YOUTH DEVELOPMENT (CHILD CARE AND DAY CAMP) 3) SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (EDUCATION & COMMUNITY OUTREACH) TOGETHER THESE CORE PROGRAMS CONSTITUTE 85% OF THE INSTITUTION'S OPERATING EXPENSES, WITH THE REMAINING 15% COVERING MANAGEMENT/GENERAL EXPENSES AND FUND-RAISING EXPENSE. HEALTHY LIVING HEALTH & WELL-BEING FOR ALL INTRODUCTION TODAY, RECORD NUMBERS OF CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, ADULTS AND SENIORS ARE AT RISK FOR SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY ARE OVERWEIGHT. IN THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA ALONE, IN AN AREA REFERRED TO AS THE "LEAD J" THERE IS A GREATER CONCENTRATION OF OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE INDIVIDUALS REACHING MORE THAN 50% OF THE POPULATION, WHICH IS MORE THAN 3 TIMES THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. A GROWING NUMBER OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISEASES RELATED TO OBESITY ARE VISITING PEDIATRIC HEALTH CLINICS, HOSPITALS AND PRIVATE PRACTICES ACROSS PHILADELPHIA SEEKING TREATMENT. THE YMCA'S APPROACH-"ACTIVATE AMERICA" ACTIVATE AMERICA IS THE Y'S RESPONSE TO OUR NATION'S GROWING HEALTH CRISIS. THE Y IS REDEFINING ITSELF AND ENGAGING COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO BETTER SUPPORT AMERICANS OF ALL AGES WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN WELL-BEING OF SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY. WE ARE SHIFTING HOW WE FOCUS ALL ASPECTS OF OUR WORK WITH OUR 140,000 INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS TO BETTER ENGAGE HEALTH SEEKERS. WE DEFINE "HEALTH SEEKERS" AS CHILDREN, YOUTH, TEENS, ADULTS AND FAMILIES WHOSE SUCCESSFUL PURSUIT OF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING REQUIRES CONTINUOUSLY SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS AND ENVIRONMENTS. INSIDE THE Y, WE ARE INFLUENCING AND MOTIVATING HEALTH SEEKERS TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES IN THEIR PURSUIT OF WELL-BEING. OUTSIDE THE Y, WE ARE HELPING TO CREATE AND SUSTAIN HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS. MEMBERSHIP & HEALTH AND WELLNESS THE Y HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS ARE DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE AND HELP PEOPLE AT ANY STAGE OF LIFE BUILD POSITIVE HEALTHY HABITS. Y PROGRAMS AND SERVICES CUT ACROSS DIVERSE POPULATIONS AND NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE TOTAL-HEALTH OF EACH PERSON. THE Y PROVIDES A VARIETY OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS INCLUDING EXERCISE AND WATER FITNESS CLASSES, HEALTH AND WELLNESS SEMINARS, EDUCATIONAL CLASSES, PERSONALIZED TRAINING PROGRAMS, NON-COMPETITIVE YOUTH AND ADULT SPORTS LEAGUES AND SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR SENIORS AND FAMILIES. THE Y DOES NOT TURN AWAY INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE OF AN INABILITY TO PAY. THROUGH THE STRONG KIDS CAMPAIGN, THE YMCA AWARDED $3.236 MILLION IN 2010 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. 1 IN 4 OF OUR ACTIVE CHILDREN AND FAMILY MEMBERS RECEIVES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ENABLING THEIR PARTICIPATION IN OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. THE Y TURNS NO ONE AWAY DUE TO AN INABILITY TO PAY. 7TH GRADE MEMBERSHIP INITIATIVE THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PA STATE ALLIANCE OF YMCA'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, IS A PARTICIPANT IN THE 7TH GRADE INITIATIVE. THE 7TH GRADE INITIATIVE GUARANTEES EVERY 7TH GRADE STUDENT IN PENNSYLVANIA A FREE ONE-YEAR MEMBERSHIP TO THE Y. THE INTENT OF THE 7TH GRADE MEMBERSHIP INITIATIVE IS TO PROMOTE THE WELL-BEING OF YOUTH AT A TIME THAT IS MOST CRUCIAL TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT OF CHOICES ABOUT HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. IN 2010 THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY PROVIDED MEMBERSHIPS TO 2,825 7TH GRADE MEMBERS, SUBSIDIZING OVER $800,000 IN MEMBER FEES. HEALTH SCREENINGS THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY PROVIDES HEALTH EDUCATION AND SCREENINGS FOR OUR COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AT ALL OF OUR LOCATIONS AS WELL AS COMMUNITY EVENTS. HEALTH EDUCATION AND SCREENINGS CAN INCLUDE SUCH TOPICS AS WEIGHT MANAGEMENT, STRESS REDUCTION, SMOKING CESSATION CLASSES, NUTRITION, BLOOD SUGAR AND BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS AND SKELETAL MUSCULAR SCANS. IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDE HEALTH AND WELLNESS PREVENTION INSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS TO EDUCATE OUR MEMBERS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING GOOD HEALTH. AS SERVICE TO OUR MEMBERS AND THE OVERALL COMMUNITY, HEALTH EDUCATION AND SCREENINGS ARE EITHER PROVIDED AT LOW OR NO COST TO THE PARTICIPANT. HEALTHY KIDS DAY EVERY YEAR THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY PARTICIPATES IN THE NATIONAL YMCA OF THE USA HEALTHY KIDS DAY. HEALTHY KIDS DAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR Y'S ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO EDUCATE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ON THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY EATING AND ACTIVE LIVING. FAMILIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT TOGETHER, AND SEMINARS, ACTIVITIES AND SCREENINGS ARE GEARED TO THE HEALTH OF THE ENTIRE FAMILY. THROUGH A COLLABORATION WITH OUR HEALTHY LIVING PARTNERS WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER A VARIETY OF FUN, ENGAGING AND INFORMATIVE ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES. THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH OVER 3,600 ATTENDING IN 2010. SPLASH ONE WEEK EVERY YEAR THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY OFFERS FREE WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTION TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN OUR SERVICE AREA. THIS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PROGRAM IS THE YMCA OF THE USA SPLASH WEEK. THE PURPOSE OF SPLASH IS TO EDUCATE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER SAFETY. THIS ANNUAL EVENT IS HELD IN APRIL. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING PEOPLE ARE INCREASINGLY ENGAGING IN WATER ACTIVITIES. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO THE GREATER PHILADELPHIA COMMUNITY-AT-LARGE DUE TO THE EASY ACCESS OF UNSUPERVISED BODIES OF WATER. DROWNING IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR CHILDREN AGES 12 AND UNDER. IN 2010 WE SERVED OVER 800 CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK-LONG EVENT. PROGRAM SERVICE STATEMENT FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CHILDCARE & DAY CAMP EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY IS THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF CHILD CARE SERVICES, CARING FOR OVER 5,000 CHILDREN EACH DAY. OF OUR 11 LOCATIONS, 27 PROGRAM SITES OFFER STATE-LICENSED AND KEYSTONE STAR RANKED CHILD CARE PROGRAMS: THE ABINGTON YMCA, THE AMBLER AREA YMCA, THE CHRISTIAN STREET YMCA, THE COLUMBIA NORTH YMCA, THE HATBORO AREA YMCA, THE NORTHEAST FAMILY YMCA, THE ROCKY RUN YMCA, THE ROXBOROUGH YMCA AND THE WEST YMCA. MANY OF THE FAMILIES THAT THE Y SERVES ARE ECONOMICALLY AND SOCIALLY CHALLENGED WITH MINIMAL RESOURCES TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEIR CHILD(REN). Y PROGRAMS PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY AND EXPERIENCE TO BRIDGE THE GAP IN EACH OF OUR CHILD CARE CLASSROOMS AND PROGRAMS. THE VISION IS TO ENRICH AND TO FACILITATE AN EXPERIENCE THAT WILL DEVELOP A CHILD'S COGNITIVE, SOCIAL, PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL GROWTH. EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AT THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY ACCOMPLISHES THIS GOAL BY EMPLOYING A CREATIVE CURRICULUM THAT ASSISTS CHILDREN'S LEARNING THROUGH THEIR EVERYDAY PLAY. THE CLASSROOMS ARE SET UP BY AGE AND STRUCTURE USING THE "CENTER METHOD." THE CENTER METHOD IS THEMED-BASED WITH SPECIFIC GOALS FOR INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT THAT PREPARES EACH STUDENT FOR HIGHER LEVELS OF LEARNING. STORY TIME, ARTS AND MUSIC, AND COOKING EXPERIENCES ARE JUST THREE EXAMPLES OF THE MANY ACTIVITIES THAT HELP CHILDREN TO DEVELOP INTO READY LEARNERS. STUDENTS ALSO BENEFIT FROM OTHER MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES EACH WEEK, SUCH AS SWIM LESSONS AND GYM ACTIVITIES. FINALLY, A KEY FEATURE OF OUR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PROGRAM IS PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. BECAUSE THE PARENTS ARE OUR PARTNERS, WE WORK WITH THEM TO BUILD AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. EQUIPPED WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, PARENTS WORK DILIGENTLY WITH THEIR CHILDREN SO THAT THE LESSONS AND SKILLS LEARNED AT THE YMCA ARE REINFORCED AT HOME. STAFF AND PROGRAM HIGH QUALITY CREDENTIALS AND STRUCTURE THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY BELIEVES THAT QUALITY CARE DEPENDS ON QUALITY TEACHERS, AND TO THAT END EVERY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CLASSROOM TEACHER AT THE YMCA OF PHILADELPHIA & VICINITY HAS A MINIMUM OF AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. TEACHING ASSISTANTS MUST HAVE ATTAINED THEIR CHILD DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE (CDA) CREDENTIAL. THE Y IS COMMITTED TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ENCOURAGES STAFF TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EXPERIENCED CARE POSSIBLE. EXCELLENT CHILD CARE ALSO HINGES UPON DELIVERING INDIVIDUALIZED CONSIDERATION OF THE SPECIAL NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT.
