The Green County Family YMCA Strong Kids Campaign is only new by name. The program was formally known as the Partner with Youth (PWY) Campaign. In 2009 the YMCA Board decided to align the local Y's program with the YMCA of the USA nationally recognized program Strong Kids.
Strong Kids has two components, first is the recruitment of funds to supplement the cost of reduced membership and program fees for kids and families who need a chance to make positive and healthy choices in their lives. Secondly, these charitable gifts provide scholarships for individuals and families who want and need YMCA programs but may not otherwise be able to afford them. These programs include water safety, gymnastics training, fitness, youth sports, after school care and recreation.
Why does the Green County Family YMCA have an annual Strong Kids Campaign?
Our annual campaign (now in its 24th year) helps us achieve the YMCA's basic mission of improving and enhancing the lives of all members, their families and the community. By contributing to the Strong Kids Campaign, you are making an investment in the future. Through a variety of fun and rewarding activities, kids also develop valuable skills while increasing confidence and self-esteem and learning values for the future. Donations can be made by sending a contribution to the Green County Family YMCA or add a donation to your monthly bank draft.
