The Lafayette Family YMCA has been putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all since 1889. It is our intent that nobody be denied participation in the YMCA due to financial limitations. In 2009, over $225,000 in assistance was provided to families in the form of scholarships and free services, thanks to the generosity of people like you who donated to our cause.
Your Donation Can Change a Life
Through the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, people just like you come together to make their community stronger. Donations to the Strong Kids Campaign allow the YMCA to provide membership and program assistance to kids and families who might not otherwise be able to afford to pay for YMCA services.
How Can You Make an Impact?
You can invest in a child who is just learning to swim, shoot basketball or make new friends in YMCA youth programs. Your investment will yield a child who is a little safer, a little wiser and having a lot more fun!
You can give a teen the opportunity to learn valuable leadership skills and build relationships through values-based YMCA teen programs.
You can allow families to have peace of mind by giving them access to the safe, family-oriented YMCA where people of all ages can relax, play and connect.
You can share the YMCA with others in the community who can benefit from programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body.
By contributing to the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, you are making a difference in the life of a child today and in our community for tomorrow.
YMCA Programs - Making a Difference
We believe that every child deserves the experience of YMCA programs, regardless of the financial difficulties their family might be facing. YMCA programs such as child care, camping, swim lessons, youth sports and teen leadership programs do more than teach skills; they teach confidence, responsibility, and teach young people to be strong in spirit, mind and body. These experiences have a strong impact on kids, helping them grow into healthy, contributing adults.
