A Report on the Y’s Impact
CENTRAL CONNECTICUT COAST YMCA
A Report on the Y’s Community Impact
December 31, 2013
Dear Friends,
It is with great pride that I share with you the strong impact made by the Central Connecticut Coast YMCA in 2013! With a special focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the Y served 87,000 kids, families, and adults in twenty five towns and cities including Bridgeport and New Haven.
Character development is at the heart of the Y’s mission, and the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility were modeled and taught to 32,000 youth in 2013. Through participation in programs including child care, youth sports, summer camping, and Youth in Government, character was built and positive values were reinforced.
Defined as the difference in academic performance between low-income kids and their more privileged peers, the education achievement gap begins early in life for many children. In 2013, the Y made great strides in closing the gap for 1,230 low-income children through the our 8 school-readiness programs, 38 after-school programs and 10 summer camp programs with a special focus on developing reading and writing skills. This represents an increase of 15% in the number of children served as compared to 2012.
The Y has been teaching kids how to swim and be safe around the water for decades. In 2013, 7,441 children participated in Y swimming lessons and water safety education programs representing an increase of 13% as compared to 2012.
Overweight, obesity, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition affect most in our community. About one in four of our neighbors are pre-diabetic, and many do not realize the serious health consequences of leading an unhealthy lifestyle. In 2013, 46,304 youth and adults participated in health, wellness, education, physical activity and diabetes prevention programs and services. This represents an increase of 34% in the number served as compared to 2012.
Chronic homelessness is a challenge faced by many families and adults, particularly in Bridgeport and New Haven. With a large team of social workers and an inventory of 415 apartments, the Y continues to serve as the largest provider of affordable and supportive housing in the state. In 2013, the Y and our partners reduced chronic homelessness by 12% in Bridgeport and New Haven.
As a source and resource for affordable programs and services, $2.8M in financial assistance was provided to 5,691 financially disadvantaged kids, families, and adults enabling participation in important Y programs or services.
I offer my special thanks to our partners, donors, staff, and the 995 committed volunteers who donated 30,055 hours of their time to help the Y fulfill its mission which is:
To put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
With best wishes,
David Stevenson, President & CEO

After school, the Y helps kids reach their potential
YMCA AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS PROVIDE LEARNING ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
Providing youth with opportunities to continue to learn and engage in meaningful activities at the end of the school day can boost their academic success. To help motivate and inspire kids to learn, branches of the Central Connecticut Coast YMCA are offering afterschool programs to school-aged children. The Y’s afterschool programs combine academics with play and offer a caring and safe environment for youth who would otherwise be left unsupervised.
During the school year, 15.1 million U.S. children are left unsupervised after 3 p.m., according to the Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit public awareness advocacy organization. The Central Connecticut Coast YMCA encourages parents/caregivers to make sure that children are involved in safe, educational experiences after school.
YMCA afterschool programs promote a love for learning, social and emotional development, healthy choices, character and creativity, and provide children with an extra support system through positive role models to help them achieve and reach their full potential.
Studies show participation in afterschool programs help boost school attendance and academic performance and reduces gaps in academic achievement among children from disadvantaged households.
We strive to meet the needs of our families, while providing quality experiences for the children in our programs. For more information about all the Central Connecticut Coast YMCA afterschool programs, please navigate to the CCCY Branch closest to your school system from the list on the list or call 203 777 9622.
A Report on the Y’s Impact
CENTRAL CONNECTICUT COAST YMCA
A Report on the Y’s Community Impact
December 31, 2012
Dear Friends,
I am so proud to share with you the great impact made by the Central Connecticut Coast YMCA in 2012! With a special focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the Y served 85,000 kids, families, and adults in twenty five towns and cities including Bridgeport and New Haven.
Character development is at the heart of the Y’s mission, and the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility were modeled and taught to 31,977 youth in 2012. Through participation in programs including child care, youth sports, summer camping, and Youth in Government, character was built and positive values were reinforced.
Defined as the difference in academic performance between low-income kids and their more privileged peers, the education achievement gap begins early in life for many children. In 2012, the Y made great strides in closing the gap for 1,071 low-income children through the Y’s 3 school-readiness programs, 38 after-school programs and 10 summer camp programs with a special focus on developing reading and writing skills.
The Y has been teaching kids how to swim and be safe around the water for decades. With a renewed commitment to teaching water safety skills and preventing aquatic accidents, 7,554 children participated in Y swimming lessons and water safety education programs in 2012.
Most in the communities we serve are overweight, are physically inactive, and do not eat well. About one in four are pre-diabetic, and many do not realize the serious health consequences of leading an unhealthy lifestyle. That’s the bad news. The good news is that through the Y’s expansion in 2012, 34,500 youth and adults participated in health, wellness, education, physical activity and diabetes prevention programs and services.
Chronic homelessness is a challenge faced by many families and adults, particularly in Bridgeport and New Haven. With a large team of social workers and an inventory of 415 apartments, the Y is the largest provider of affordable and supportive housing in the state. In 2012, the Y and our partners made great strides in reducing chronic homelessness.
As a source and resource for affordable programs and services, $3M in financial assistance was provided to 5,967 financially disadvantaged kids, families, and adults enabling participation in important Y programs or services.
I’d like to thank our partners, donors, staff, and the 1,293 committed volunteers who donated 31,985 hours of their time to help the Y fulfill its mission which is: To put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
With Best Wishes,

Youth and Government Program
Youth and Government is a national YMCA group that involves thousands of teenagers worldwide in programs that model their state government. The New Haven YMCA has been participating in the Youth and Government program since 2006. Between October and March of each year, the teens in the Youth Center meet once to twice a week to discuss and debate issues in their state and to learn how to draft legislation concerning these issues.
The objective of the program is to teach leadership training, public speaking, critical thinking, community activism, political knowledge, and the development of research, reading and writing skills for academic enhancement. The youth’s hard work and dedication is rewarded in a weekend conference at the Legislative Office Buildings in Hartford where they present their bills to other YMCA teens across the state.
