The YMCA and YWCA are leading Canadian Charities. The YMCA-YWCA Strong Kids Campaign 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 our Y programs or activities.
As prospective donors we all wonder how our individual gift could ever have an impact when the needs of our community seem so great. CLICK HERE to see a list of individual stories of how the YMCA-YWCA Strong Kids Campaign helps one person at a time, one family at a time, or one program at a time.
Funds are needed to:
- Help a low income family stay active and healthy with a Y membership
- Give a child living in poverty a safe, fun and positive character-building experience at a one of our day or overnight camps
- Give youth at risk a chance to build leadership skills in a fun environment
- Ensure a low income school-aged child will benefit from literacy, recreation and homework assistance at a Y After-School program
- Engage youth in meaningful volunteer opportunities
- Help families access child care, recreation and support services during a time of illness, crisis or loss of employment
