The YMCA Caring Community Centers vision is to transform apartment complexes into “communities of caring” in which children thrive and feel a sense of belonging and where all children, in these programs, believe that they “belong” to the YMCA located within their apartment complex.
This model is based upon building a YMCA program presence within an individual apartment community and providing a standardized set of programs for the residents.
It requires, at minimum, an in-kind contribution of program facility/space for the local YMCA from the apartment owner. Financial support from our generous donors help us provide these much-needed services. Will you consider making a tax-deductable donation?
