Newport County Ymca

Youth Development: We impact over 1600 youth in our programs each week in the areas of gymnastics, youth sports, leadership programs, afterschool, aquatics, Rhody Squash, and our preschool programs. These programs are not only designed to teach and educate participants on the tasks at hand, but they also teach life skills that will help these children in the future. Our youth programs provide strong role models and a safe environment to help them grow and thrive. The Newport County YMCA also has a strong program area to help families come together. These programs help families contact one other and spend much needed quality time together. Families each year enjoy our movie nights, family camp outs and many other events that happen each month.

Social Responsibility: The Newport County YMCA impacts the community by offering our extensive adaptive programs. Each week we have over 250 participants come to the Y with special needs to partake in a number of programs including life skills. Our special Olympics team has over 100 players that participate in sports year-round along with many social activities. We change our community by being involved in many service projects outside the Y walls.

Healthy Living: The Newport County YMCA is focused on our community to make it happier and healthier. Through programs such as personal training, boot camps and weight lose challenges we engage our members to help them become more self-confident in their lives. We also impact our community by offering many programs to fight youth obesity in our country. By partnering with many other local agencies, we can improve our community's health. With our Prescribe the Y program we work with local doctors to identify children who are at risk and enroll them into a free 12-week session to educate them and their family about healthy habits. By working together, we can do great things for all.
