Real People. Real Impact.
Did you know the YMCA of Greater Charlotte is part of the network of YMCAs around the country that collectively represent the largest charitable community organization in the United States?
Volunteer founded and still volunteer led, the YMCA of Greater Charlotte supports numerous programs that enhance lives and strengthen community health. We are able to do so through the generosity of individuals and corporations who believe in the YMCA’s ability to have an impact in our community through these programs.
In 2007, the YMCA of Greater Charlotte is committed to raising over $3.4 million to serve those with need. We accomplish this by providing:
- A program scholarship to an Active Older Adult seeking rehabilitation assistance after a stroke
- Childcare for an English as a Second Language participant
- Literacy classes for adult non-readers
- Afterschool for teens
- Care of a social worker as a family works through crisis
The YMCA of Greater Charlotte exists in our community as a community partner and provider, seeking to “put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all." It is the emphasis on “for all” that leads our Association to ask you to partner with us, our 15 branches, and our two resident camps to create a stronger community.
Your investment in the annual community outreach campaign is vital in continuing the YMCA of Greater Charlotte’s commitment to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities for years to come.
