Program areas at Kenosha Young Men's Christian Association
The y is a leading voice on healthy living. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through health and wellness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, 13,696 people in our community are receiving the support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind, and body. Programs like livestrong at the y for cancer survivors or senior exercise classes for those struggling with arthritis or fibromyalgia help individuals improve their health and well-being. Our programs are accessible, affordable,and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. In 2023, we provided over $143,418 in financial assistance to people who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to participate.
Our ymca is committed to youth development and nurturing the potential of every child. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That is why we help Young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Ymca programs, such as the achievers program, before and after school enrichment, early childhood, summer day camp, youth sports, youth swim lessons, rock climbing, dance, and steam (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) classes had 6950 enrollments in 2023. Our youth development programs offer a range of experiences that enrich academic, cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth.
