Clark County Family YMCA

In 2018, we provided opportunities for almost 60,000 people to experience personal growth, strengthen relationships and build better communities. As we continue to grow, we become more than just a gym—we teach life-saving skills in the water, good sportsmanship on and off the field and ensure a brighter future for all. We provided more than 29,600 Health and Wellness memberships, taught more than 13,800 kids new skills in Youth Sports and gave more than $1.6 Million in Financial Assistance to the community. We saw more than 13,900 kids and teens participate in Day and Overnight Camps, almost 2,000 infants, toddlers and preschoolers learn in early education and more than 2,200 kids improve their academic skills in our Before and After School programs.

Youth Development

Children, regardless of where they live or income level, struggle to develop the positive values, ethic of civic responsibility and educational skills necessary to be prepared for adulthood. The YMCA’s youth development approach demonstrates notable success in bolstering developmental assets related to school success and character. At the Y, we support and encourage children and teens as they learn about positive behaviors relating to leadership, service to others and healthy actions.

Healthy Living

We are raising the least fit, least healthy generation of children in our nation’s history. The associated health care and social costs threaten to overwhelm the community’s ability to respond. The YMCA is the historical leader for building health in spirit, mind and body for all ages. We will help turn the tide by expanding research-based lifestyle health programs that emphasize and support families’ involvement in improving activity and nutrition. We work to provide communities and individuals with programs that promote overall well-being and reduce the risk of illness and disease.

Social Responsibility

Families are under increasing stress, not connected to supportive communities and unsure of where to go for help in balancing work, family and civic responsibilities. The YMCA offers a community gathering place where diverse families participate with and learn from each other, in welcoming environments where they can experience an array of activities and access supportive resources. We aid individuals and communities in reaching their full potential through multi-level approaches and solutions, because we are all in this together, and together we can motivate positive change. We are empowering communities we serve to be healthy, confident, connected and secure.
