Community Outreach 2008
Real People. Real Impact.
Nearly 1000 scholarships, totaling more than $300,000, were given out in 2007 to insure that children and families could participate in programs and membership opportunities at the Lowe's YMCA. We anticipate distributing more than $500,000 in 2008, and a portion of those dollars are secured through generous contributions by members mad the community during our Annual Community Outreach Campaign. We are very serious about improving the health of the children, adults and seniors in the Mooresville community.
The YMCA is committed to developing healthy minds by improving literacy. 
YMCA Starfish Academy, a nationally-acclaimed program in partnership with the Mooresville Graded Schools, targets first and second graders reading below grade level. Provided at no cost to the families, Starfish serves children who are identified by their teachers as needing a little extra 'push' during the summer. The program lasts for six-weeks from June to August and is by invitation only.
The YMCA will provide needed healthy activities to children, adults, seniors and the financially disadvantaged.
Gifts to Community Outreach at the Lowe's YMCA provide children in need with scholarships so they can take part in healthy out-of-school time options like sports, summer day camp and Afterschool.
The YMCA is building healthy spirits through volunteer and giving opportunities.
