Strong Kids Campaign

The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign ensures that everyone can be part of the YMCA. Strong Kids is focused on raising much needed financial support for deserving children, teens and families who are unable to afford the full cost of participation in a YMCA program or activity. That might mean providing the funds to:

  • Help a child attend day camp for the first time
  • Help a struggling teen find employment
  • Enable a child to participate in a recreation or fitness activity
  • Enable a struggling family to use a child care facility
  • Gain the confidence and skills to avoid addiction, violence, and isolation

Each YMCA association offers unique programs to serve the needs of their community; each community has deserving children, teens, and families that need your help. donate now...
