Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Our Mission: The La Crosse Area Family Y is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching our community by promoting physical, mental, and spiritual well-being for all.
Activities or mission (Part I)
TO STRENGTHEN THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR COMMUNITY.
-
Youth Development: We continue to invest deeply in programs that nurture the potential of every child and teen. Our youth development efforts not only support academic and physical growth, but also build confidence, character, and critical life skills. *Childcare Services: With 1,626 children participating in our school-age and summer care programs and another 130 in full-day childcare, our Y provides critical support for working families. By offering structured, enriching environments, children are able to learn, play, and thrive while their parents work knowing their children are in a safe and nurturing space. Our programs integrate healthy meals, daily physical activity, and social-emotional learning to give each child a strong foundation for life. *Community Youth Center: Located in the heart of the Washburn neighborhood, our Youth Center is a haven for kids aged 10-18. In 2024, it became a vital hub of mentorship, community, and safety. With an average of 20 youth visiting each day, the center provides academic support, meals, hygiene resources, and above all-a place where youth feel seen, supported, and empowered. *Inclusive & Adaptive Programs: Our inclusive and adaptive programming reflects our deep commitment to equity. In 2024, 384 individuals of all abilities engaged in activities ranging from adapted gymnastics to Miracle League Baseball. These programs foster not just participation, but belonging. *Gymnastics & Parkour: With 4,300 enrollments, our Vinger Gymnastics Center continues to be one of our most active spaces, helping kids build strength, coordination, and resilience in a fun and challenging environment. *Youth Sports & Camps: 1,398 children participated in basketball, soccer, martial arts, and nature-based camps, reinforcing teamwork, healthy competition, and outdoor adventure. *Arts & Humanities: 1,396 youth explored their creative sides through dance, music, and martial arts-offering a balance to physical programs and giving kids opportunities to express themselves. *Child Watch & Kid Zones: Our supervised drop-in care saw more than 30,900 visits, allowing parents to pursue wellness while knowing their children are in good hands. The addition of Kid Zones for ages 7-11 helped extend our support for families with school-aged kids.
Expenses $8,397,669 · Revenue $5,349,967
-
Healthy Living: We remain a leading voice for health and well-being, empowering thousands to take charge of their physical and mental health while building meaningful social connections. *Wellness Centers: With 181,477 visits to our Dahl facility and 219,174 at Houser, our wellness centers provided a space for people to strengthen their bodies and minds. Our 6,618 personal training sessions ensured personalized support for members of all ages and fitness levels. *Group Fitness: Group classes continued to be a cornerstone of our community, with 128,266 visits to over 7,000 fitness offerings. These classes build more than muscle-they build friendships, routines, and motivation. *Chronic Disease Programs: Our specialized programs help participants take control of their health: 36 individuals enrolled in our Diabetes Prevention Program, making lifestyle changes to lower their risk. 86 cancer survivors found healing and strength through LIVESTRONG, while 6 youth participated in YOUTHSTRONG. 8 Culinary Medicine workshops reached 112 participants, reinforcing the power of nutrition to promote healing. *Healthy Living Center: In collaboration with Gundersen Health System, this dedicated space hosted diverse wellness and rehabilitation services. This model of integrated care reflects a powerful community partnership focused on preventative health. *Community Health Workers: Through personalized support, our three CHWs helped 153 clients overcome barriers to health and stability. From housing assistance to nutrition and medical connections, 754 wellness pathways were completed, with 30+ families receiving monthly food boxes and 16 families finding stable housing. *Mental Health: Our Mental Health Director delivered professional training to staff, led outreach with local school districts, and helped embed trauma-informed care into every program. The Youth Center operates under the mindset of "We SEE You," affirming every child's dignity and potential. Whether through 1-on-1 mentorship or group programs like Wellness Warriors, we continue to lead with empathy and connection.
Expenses $3,237,017 · Revenue $6,466,605
-
Social Responsibility: Our commitment to equity and access was on full display in 2024 through expanded outreach and deeply responsive services. *Food Programs: With 327,858 free meals served, including 188,494 through Y on the Fly, we addressed food insecurity head-on. Our Mobile Market distributed over 154,000 lbs of food, supporting more than 13,000 individuals, including over 11,000 youth. *Volunteerism: 408 volunteers donated 6,000+ hours to help us meet the growing needs of our community. *Financial Support: Through our Flexible Pricing Program - Membership For All, $1.4 million was awarded in financial assistance to ensure access to membership and programs, regardless of ability to pay.

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.
