Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To serve the whole community through programs expressing Judeo-Christian principles that build a healthy spirit, mind and body. The YMCA of Central Ohio realizes its vision of strong communities where all people reach their full potential through our three pillars - Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility - meeting critical community needs across five generations.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To serve the whole community through programs expressing Judeo-Christian principles that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility are the three pillars that anchor our service within the community.

  • YOUTH DEVELOPMENT The YMCA of Central Ohio is an expert in youth development programming and the largest child care provider across the region. The breadth and depth of the YMCA's youth development programs span across 44,300 children in our programs, 14 Central Ohio school districts and our 85 licensed child care sites. Our Youth Development programs serve infants through teens, building the foundational blocks for lifelong learning, health, positivity and critical thinking. With the support of our partner and investor, Battelle, STEM education is embedded into many of these programs, ensuring underserved communities have access to STEM education. The YMCA of Central Ohio offers many high-quality, licensed child care programs for more than 5,000 working families annually, meeting every child where they are in life to help them succeed. At the YMCA of Central Ohio, 86% of children are ready for kindergarten, compared to a 35% success rate in Franklin County and a 36.5% success rate in Ohio. Our Out-of-School Time programs, such as before and after school programs, teen leaders, day camp and overnight camp have a proven track record of positively impacting school-age children year-round, helping them learn, grow and develop social-emotional and leadership skills inside and outside of the classroom.

    Expenses $28,794,091 · Grants $3,579,784 · Revenue $8,658,185

  • SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY At the YMCA of Central Ohio, meeting basic needs is mission-critical to helping all people reach their full potential. Vital programs and services extend beyond our community centers to help guide those who need it most, meeting the needs of our most marginalized neighbors. From assisting New Americans with integration services to helping individuals experiencing homelessness find and stay in housing, or providing families with resources to increase academic, housing and income stability, the YMCA's ability to adapt and serve communities is unmatched. Community outreach to increase housing stability, family support and emergency services are part of the YMCA's commitment to social responsibility. Our housing and shelter services provide rounded stability to families, keep those without a home safe and warm in emergency shelter, provide extra support to exit shelter and return to stable housing through rapid re-housing programs and help stabilize the most vulnerable experiencing chronic homelessness and a disability through permanent supportive housing. In 2024, the YMCA of Central Ohio helped 2,220 individuals maintain or obtain stable housing. In addition, we provided 4,190 individuals experiencing homelessness with a safe place and warm meal at the YMCA Van Buren Center emergency shelter. YMCA Van Buren Center is one of the largest emergency shelters in the region and a critical lifeline for those facing homelessness.

    Expenses $21,220,135 · Grants $20,985 · Revenue $346,801

  • HEALTHY LIVING The YMCA of Central Ohio is committed to helping five generations every day build a healthy spirit, mind and body through transformational programs and activities that improve wellness, reduce the risk of disease and help others reclaim their health. Across our community centers, over 114,000 members improved whole-person health at our YMCAs last year, visiting our centers over 2.2 million times. Existing across four counties, YMCA community centers are a catalyst for intergenerational community building and help connect their neighborhood to additional YMCA programs and services, like produce giveaways and stabilizing services. We believe by engaging our youngest and oldest generations and those in the middle, addressing their needs and bringing them together, we can ensure that our communities are a good place for children to grow up and adults to age well. Our programs are rooted in accessibility and inclusion, ensuring people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds can improve their health and well-being. We are committed to providing financial assistance to ensure all people can access our services, regardless of financial ability, providing over $1.3M in financial assistance last year. We are proud to offer in-person and virtual programming that benefits all people, especially families and seniors; a full range of health, wellbeing and fitness programs; sports and water safety for all ages; adaptive sports and wellness; and chronic disease prevention and maintenance programs.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
