Organization: GENEVA LAKES FAMILY YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION INC
Mission: HERE AT THE Y, STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY IS OUR CAUSE. EVERY DAY, WE WORK SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF AGE, INCOME OR BACKGROUND, HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN, GROW AND THRIVE.
Activities: For Youth Development: We believe that the skills and character values learned early on are vital to a young persons success in life. At the Y, children have the opportunity to learn life-long lessons through a variety of community based programs. This is our mission. Our programs allow children to explore their talents and allow them to realize their full potential. This builds confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults of tomorrow.
For Healthy Living: Healthy living is much more than being physically fit. It's about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind, and body. It's about making connections with friends and going through a healthy journey together. Healthy living is about staying active, trying a new class, signing up for your first 5K, and setting new goals. At the Y, you're able to find all of these things and start and continue your healthy living journey.
For Social Responsibility: We know that when we work as one, we move people and communities forward. We are committed to providing support to our communities needs and partner with many area organizations for the greater good. Our end result is stronger, engaged kids, adults, and families who have opportunities to join in and advocate for a strong community.
