Youth Development – empowering young people to reach their full potential
We provide services to all across the socioeconomic spectrum, with a special emphasis on youth to experience safe outlets and opportunities to reach their full potential. For Youth Development we provide programming for 89,000 youth annually: School Year Programs (After School, Tracking Out); Bridging the Education Gap (Y Learning, YMCA Community HOPE); Growing Leaders (Youth & Government, Lightner Y Achievers); Strong Families (Sports Leagues, Y Guides); Overnight Camps (Camp Sea Gull, Camp Seafarer, Camp Kanata); Summer Day Camps; Camp G.R.A.C.E. for children with Autism and PDD; Camp Excel (subsidized day camps).
Healthy Living
A healthy community is a strong community.
At the Y, we strive to provide a sense of belonging and hope to those who struggle with their well-being by designing health programs that strengthen the spirit, mind and body.
96,900+ YMCA Members had the opportunity to get strong, improve their health, lower stress and improve energy by being being part of a supportive Y community.
Through innovative in-person and virtual programs, we were able to address health disparities and remove financial barriers to wellness.
1,257 Y Health Members (formerly known as Medical Members) enrolled through participation in LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, Moving for Better Balance and Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring.
74% of Medical Members met their health goals in 2019-22.
The YMCA is addressing chronic disease with prevention care through evidence-based programs
such as Diabetes Prevention (DPP), YMCA Weight Loss and Healthy Weight and Your Child.
Social Responsibility
Our YMCA is on a constant equity, inclusion and improvement journey.
We are dedicated to fully serving and including the many unique and diverse communities that are part of our seven-county service area.
OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION STATEMENT
To fulfill our Mission and purpose of strengthening our community for all, the YMCA of the Triangle is committed to being a multicultural, anti-racist and inclusive organization, fully leveraging our collective resources and impact to address social inequities
The Clarence E. Lightner YMCA Achievers program introduces teens in grades 6 -12 to adults of color who guide them through experiences that prepare them for life after high school. Through civic engagement, community service projects, and academic enhancement programs, students make new friends, learn healthy lifestyle choices and prepare for their future.
