Nurturing the potential of every child
Nurturing the potential of every child
At the Y, we don’t just teach swimming lessons or coach soccer. We’re about youth development: ensuring that the children
in the Ligonier Community reach their full potential by helping
them grow—physically, mentally, and socially—from young
children into active members of their community. This makes
for confident kids today and contributing, engaged adults tomorrow.
Last year:
year:
Over 178 children were provided a safe place to learn skills,
develop healthy lifestyles, foster trusting relationships and
build self-reliance through Y values in our Child Development
Program.
The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active, and about developing healthy habits
that they can carry with them throughout their lives. Participation in the sports programs at the Y brings even greater benefits than just physical health. Whether it’s the 300 children who
gained the confidence to swim, or the 1,200 children who built
positive relationships through sportsmanship and teamwork,
engaging in our athletic programs promotes both social and
personal growth for the whole child.

body. The Y
is a place where you can work toward that balance by challenging yourself to learn a new skill or hobby, to foster connections with friends through our lifelong learning programs, and
to bring your loved ones closer together through our many
family-centered activities. At the Y, it’s not about the activity
you chose as much as it is about leading a healthier life and
the great personal and collective benefits that come from engagement with your community.

Serving families has always been at the heart of the Y. We are
a place where children and parents can connect on a different
level through our parent/child programs. In 2013, over 400
families created memories during YMCA events, including
Breakfast with Santa, Healthy Kids Day and the Easter Egg
Hunt.
Whether you want to meet new people or simply wish to pursue a new hobby, the Y brings together people who love to
learn. Last year, over 1000 adults learned to Rumba in ballroom dance, cast a line in fly-fishing class, spiked a volleyball,
or explored other interests in the variety of classes offered at
the YMCA.
Through unique programs such as the Y Weight Loss Challenge, Middle School Initiative and Sliver Sneakers, the YMCA
continues to provide healthy lifestyle opportunities for all.

Inspiring Social Responsibility
Inspiring Social Responsibility
The Ligonier Valley YMCA has been listening and responding to
our communities most critical social needs for almost 30 years.
We know that when we work as one we move people and our
community forward. That’s why we are committed to providing
support to our neighbors and opportunities for kids, adults and
families to give, join-in or advocate in the name of a stronger
community.

Last year:
Through our annual fundraising efforts, it is clear the generosity of others is at the core of our existence. In 2013, our volunteers and staff raised $224,810.53 in support of children's,
adult and family scholarship's to the Y. There is no other volunteer organization quite like the Y: it is only through the commitment of our 138 volunteers that we are able to give back to
the community we serve.
We are a powerful ally and advocate for our community. Last
year, through our strong partnerships and collaborations with
local corporations and foundations, we are able to expand our
impact on important issues such as childhood obesity, education, and the overall health and well-being of our community.
