SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We know that when we work as one, we move people and communities forward.
Y Healthy Kids Network Backpack Program
The Y Healthy Kids Network (YHKN) Backpack Program addresses the basic needs of students in Licking and Muskingum Counties by providing carriers of nutritious and easy-to-prepare food to take home on weekends when other resources may not be available.
Safety Around Water (SAW)
Teaching children how to be safe around water is not a luxury; it is a necessity. The YMCA’s Safety Around Water program can help you make sure children learn essential water safety skills, which can open up a world of possibilities for them to satisfy their curiosity safely.
Five Days of Action
Five Days of Action is an annual week-long campaign designed to raise awareness of child sexual abuse and how all adults can prevent it when we “Know. See. Respond.” By taking part in this important campaign and implementing abuse prevention practices year-round, we are committing to the safety of all children in our community, and we hope you will, too.
Volunteer
Volunteerism is the backbone of the YMCA. Without selfless volunteers, many activities and services could not take place. Volunteers serve on committees, task forces and the Board of Directors; volunteering at all levels including programming, supervision, and clerical areas.
Christian Emphasis
Our Christian Emphasis program seeks to accomplish the mission of keeping the “C” in the YMCA by demonstrating the love of Christ by serving, encouraging, and caring for the spiritual needs of our members and our community.
