Youth and teens in YMCA programs experience the Y’s four core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, and by doing so they gain strength of character.  In addition, they develop the 40 Developmental Assets, the key building blocks that all youth and teens need to grow into strong, healthy, and successful adults.

Gifts to the Strong Kids Campaign help provide financial assistance for individuals who want and need YMCA programs but cannot afford them.

Gifts of any amount can make a difference!
