Mission

THE WESTFIELD AREA YMCA IS A NONPROFIT HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO DEVELOPING THE FULL POTENTIAL OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT BUILD HEALTHY SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY FOR ALL. THE YMCA STRENGTHENS THE FOUNDATION OF THE COMMUNITY BY FOCUSING ON THREE KEY AREAS: YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, HEALTHY LIVING AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Westfield Area YMCA is a nonprofit human service organization dedicated to developing the full potential of every individual and family in the communities it serves through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. With a commitment to nurturing the potential of children, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility, the Y ensures that every individual has access to the essentials needed to learn, grow and thrive. The Westfield Area YMCA is one of the largest health and human service organizations in Union County, New Jersey and has proudly served men, women and children of all ages, abilities, backgrounds and economic circumstances since 1923. No one who lives or works in the Y's service area of Cranford, Garwood, Mountainside or Westfield and is experiencing a bona fide financial hardship is turned away for inability to pay for YMCA programs, services and memberships.

  • The Westfield Area YMCA provides a wide range of stimulating, safe, and developmentally appropriate year-round and/or school year child care programs. All programs offer a well-balanced blend of social interaction and self-discovery through free play, art, music and learning centers. Full-day kindergarten is available and expands upon the public school curriculum and follows the public school calendar. The school age child care program provides a fun, active and nurturing learning environment for elementary school students before and/or after school in Cranford, Garwood, Mountainside and Westfield. Programs are offered at YMCA facilities and school sites. 850 children were served in 2024. The Westfield Area YMCA provides ACA-accredited summer day camps for children ages 3-15 for one week or the whole summer. The YMCA summer camps teach positive values, enhance social competencies, increase self-confidence and boost understanding of behavioral boundaries and consequences. An inclusion program for campers with special needs is included. In 2024, the Y provided 745 youth with 3,783 weeks of camp. From basketball to Taekwondo to dance to t-ball, the Westfield Area YMCA youth sports programs offer children of every ability the opportunity to exercise, develop skills and have fun. For example, Y Flyers Track Club served approximately 540 youth, about 330 youth participated in the Taekwondo program, 350 youth participated in the Y's developmental and competitive Devilfish Swim Team and 195 youth participated in t-ball. The Y also provided aquatic lessons for all ages and abilities in Cranford and Westfield and in 2024 with about 760 children participated each week. The Westfield Area YMCA is proud of its role in helping thousands of area youth develop skills and learn sportsmanship each year. With the growth of the 55+ population, the YMCA continues to enhance programming for seniors, offering a variety of health and wellness programs including lunchtime lectures and events, land and water fitness classes, and classes specifically for people with special health needs such as arthritis, Parkinson's, osteoporosis and stroke. Seniors also appreciate the socialization opportunities offered in programs and classes at the Y.

    Expenses $9,811,817 · Grants $5,300 · Revenue $8,841,755

  • The Westfield Area YMCA welcomes people of every age, ability and life stage and supports those who need us most. At the Y programs are offered to strengthen people physically while sharpening their minds, helping them achieve wellness in spirit, mind and body. Throughout the year, the Y continued to serve the community as a food pantry drop-off site, hosted several clothing and hygiene product drives, and offers an angel tree in December so less fortunate children and families receive holiday gifts thanks to the generosity of our members. The Main Y Facility offers more than 170 pieces of cardio and strength training equipment, two pools, a double gym, racquetball courts, fitness classes and a free-weight room. The Cranford YMCA opened in 2024 and features over 50 pieces of fitness equipment, pool and free weights. The Westfield Area YMCA is a great place for individuals and families to reach and maintain their wellness goals.

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.
