• YOUTH DEVELOPMENT INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION FOR 159 YEARS, THE LAKE COUNTY YMCA HAS BELIEVED THAT EVERY CHILD DESERVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCOVER THEIR POTENTIAL, DEVELOP CONFIDENCE, AND BUILD THE FOUNDATION FOR A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE. THROUGH SAFE, NURTURING, AND ENRICHING EXPERIENCES, WE EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE TO BECOME HEALTHY, ENGAGED, AND RESPONSIBLE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. IN 2025, THE LAKE COUNTY YMCA POSITIVELY IMPACTED 15,750 CHILDREN AND TEENS THROUGH HIGH-QUALITY PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO FOSTER ACADEMIC READINESS, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, LEADERSHIP, PHYSICAL WELL-BEING, AND LIFELONG SUCCESS. OUR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS SUPPORT CHILDREN THROUGH EVERY STAGE OF GROWTH. EARLY LEARNING PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN AGES 3-6 PROVIDE DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE INSTRUCTION THAT CULTIVATES CURIOSITY, INDEPENDENCE, AND A LIFELONG LOVE OF LEARNING WHILE PREPARING EVERY CHILD FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION TO KINDERGARTEN. OUR LICENSED BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS SERVE CHILDREN ACROSS EIGHT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN THREE LAKE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS, PROVIDING A SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT EXTENDS LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM. DAILY PROGRAMMING INCLUDES LITERACY ENRICHMENT, HOMEWORK SUPPORT, STEM ACTIVITIES, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT STRENGTHEN CONFIDENCE, SOCIAL SKILLS, AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT. DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN YMCA DAY CAMP EXPERIENCES WHERE ADVENTURE, EXPLORATION, LEADERSHIP, AND FRIENDSHIP COME TOGETHER. WEEKLY THEMED PROGRAMMING ENCOURAGES CREATIVITY, TEAMWORK, RESILIENCE, AND A DEEPER APPRECIATION FOR THE OUTDOORS WHILE PROVIDING WORKING FAMILIES WITH DEPENDABLE, HIGH-QUALITY CARE. FOR ADOLESCENTS, THE YMCA OFFERS LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, VOLUNTEERISM, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, AND MENTORING OPPORTUNITIES THAT INSPIRE YOUNG PEOPLE TO BECOME CONFIDENT LEADERS PREPARED TO MAKE MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES. EVERY PROGRAM REFLECTS THE YMCA'S COMMITMENT TO ENSURING THAT EVERY CHILD, REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND OR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCE, HAS ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES THAT HELP THEM LEARN, GROW, AND THRIVE.

• HEALTHY LIVING BUILDING A HEALTHIER LAKE COUNTY THE LAKE COUNTY YMCA IS ONE OF THE REGION'S LEADING PROVIDERS OF COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH AND WELLNESS OPPORTUNITIES, HELPING INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES BUILD HEALTHIER LIVES WHILE STRENGTHENING THE OVERALL WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITY. IN 2025, 43,801 INDIVIDUALS ENGAGED IN YMCA PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT PROMOTED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION, MENTAL WELL-BEING, SOCIAL CONNECTION, AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. THROUGH FITNESS, AQUATICS, YOUTH SPORTS, WELLNESS COACHING, FAMILY PROGRAMMING, AND EVIDENCE-BASED HEALTH INITIATIVES, THE YMCA SERVES AS A TRUSTED PARTNER IN IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS OF ALL AGES. RECOGNIZING THAT HEALTH SHOULD NEVER BE LIMITED BY FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, THE YMCA INVESTED 497,778 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, ENSURING THAT CHILDREN, FAMILIES, SENIORS, AND INDIVIDUALS FACING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP COULD PARTICIPATE IN MEMBERSHIPS AND LIFE-CHANGING PROGRAMS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. HEALTH IS ABOUT FAR MORE THAN EXERCISE. THE YMCA PROVIDES EVIDENCE-BASED WELLNESS PROGRAMS ADDRESSING ISSUES SUCH AS ROCK STEADY BOXING, ACTIVE AGING, AND CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, WHILE OFFERING HUNDREDS OF GROUP EXERCISE CLASSES, PERSONAL WELLNESS COACHING, VIRTUAL FITNESS RESOURCES, AND RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES DESIGNED TO MEET INDIVIDUALS WHEREVER THEY ARE ON THEIR HEALTH JOURNEY. YOUTH AND ADULT SPORTS PROGRAMS TEACH TEAMWORK, DISCIPLINE, PERSEVERANCE, AND SPORTSMANSHIP WHILE FOSTERING LIFELONG HABITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. AQUATICS PROGRAMS DEVELOP CONFIDENCE, TEACH LIFE-SAVING WATER SAFETY SKILLS, AND PROMOTE WELLNESS FOR PARTICIPANTS OF EVERY AGE AND ABILITY. FAMILY-CENTERED PROGRAMMING STRENGTHENS RELATIONSHIPS BY CREATING MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER, REMAIN ACTIVE, AND BUILD LASTING MEMORIES. THE IMPACT EXTENDS WELL BEYOND INDIVIDUAL HEALTH OUTCOMES. COMMUNITIES WITH GREATER ACCESS TO RECREATION AND PREVENTIVE WELLNESS EXPERIENCE HEALTHIER POPULATIONS, REDUCED DEMAND FOR MORE INTENSIVE HEALTHCARE SERVICES, AND STRONGER WORKFORCE PARTICIPATION. WHEN CHILDREN AND ADULTS HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO STAY ACTIVE, CONNECTED, AND HEALTHY, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO ATTEND SCHOOL CONSISTENTLY, REMAIN PRODUCTIVE AT WORK, AND CONTRIBUTE TO A STRONGER LOCAL ECONOMY. INVESTING IN HEALTHY LIVING IS NOT SIMPLY AN INVESTMENT IN RECREATION, IT IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE LONG-TERM VITALITY AND RESILIENCE OF LAKE COUNTY.

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.
