Enroll In Y Afterschool

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

It’s 3:27 in the afternoon. You don’t have to worry.  You know where your kids are.  And, they couldn’t be in better hands.  At the Y, kids build self-esteem, values and leadership skills.  You’ll know they’re exploring their potential and growing; they’ll think they’re just having fun.

We are now enrolling school age children in the Y’s Afterschool program which is available at 14 licensed locations throughout Erie County. Busing provided to and from school.  Financial assistance is available.  Meet our staff and tour our facilities by appointment.

Already enrolled in the program?  Refer a friend or family member and upon their enrollment, you’ll receive $25 in Y-Bucks to apply towards childcare fees or any Y program.  A new enrolled student is defined as a student that did not attend a Y Childcare program during the 2009-10 school year.  Ask your location site director for more information.

New Y Look. Same Y Values.

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Sometimes we all need a little sprucing up. For the first time in 43 years, the YMCA unveiled a refreshed brand to reinforce our cause and impact as one of the leading nonprofits in the nation.

We will call ourselves by the name that most people already use: the Y. Individual locations will continue to refer to themselves as “the Y,” “the YMCA” or their branch name.

Don’t worry. Our mission and commitment to the community is the same as ever. In fact, it is probably even stronger.

By making it clear that our Y strengthens the foundations of community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, we shed light on the mission of the YMCA: To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

Spread the word. Let’s build even stronger communities and make history together!  Watch our website for more information.
