FOR LIFESTYLE CHANGE
Salsa, Sabor y Salud helps Hispanic families
O
ralia never struggled with her weight. But as life presented her and her husband with the challenges of jobs, home ownership and raising children, Oralia found her waistline expanding and her energy levels low. “I was still cooking and eating the traditional foods we loved, the beef tacos, stewed meats, tortillas. All foods high in fat and salt, and I wasn’t exercising. I got to 235 pounds.” A visit to her doctor was a turning point, when her physician told her she had blood pressure problems. “I’ll never forget because she asked ‘Do you care about your kids?’ and I thought, of course I do! Then she said, ‘Then you need to take care of yourself.’ I had never seen it quite that way before,” Oralia said. Oralia was ready to make a change, but wasn’t sure where to begin. Until one day she accompanied a friend to a local clinic and someone told her about the Y’s Salsa, Sabor y Salud program. The program, designed to help families learn the importance of reading labels, substituting healthier ingredients in favorite recipes, portion control and more, all in Spanish, sounded great. “Before that day, I hadn’t heard of the Y,” Oralia said. “But I joined the class.” After a couple lessons, Oralia decided to use her Y membership, which is provided for free during the six-week Salsa program. She started with the treadmill, but then tried group exercise classes, which she enjoyed.

The Gutierrez family found a positive and motivating environment at the Y. Pictured are Oralia and her husband Morone, with their children Angel and Angela.
When the Salsa classes ended, Oralia had already changed her habits and had more confidence to press on to lose more weight. “I was drinking more water, no soda. I ate out less. I decided to get a membership and include my family,” Oralia said. “The atmosphere at the Y is very friendly.” The family remains involved. Oralia’s daughter volunteers at the 8th Street Family YMCA. “She enjoys spending time there and using her bilingual skills,” Oralia said. “I trust she’s in a safe and motivating environment. “If I ran into someone that was thinking about joining the Y but wasn’t sure, I think I would take them to the Y myself!” she laughs. “I’ve done that with a friend of mine! I tell her, they have people that speak Spanish there. And my daughter is there too and she can help you.”
ABOUT SALSA, SABOR Y SALUD For Hispanic and Latino families, Salsa, Sabor y Salud encourages healthy eating and being more active through a culturally-based curriculum and Spanish instruction. It addresses the growing obesity rates and inactivity levels among Hispanic and Latino families in America. YMCA of Greater Kansas City

FOR PEACE OF MIND
Kids and families love after school programs
Y Club provides support to Wiesje Sammis and her children, Terrelle, age 9, and Bailey, age 11. 12
“You feel like it is a second home and not day care. I just love it. It give me total peace.” —Wiesje a night doing homework,” Wiesje said. “We don’t have to do that anymore. Just to relieve that stress, to be able to let me interact with my kids—it gives me more time with them.” The learning will continue this summer for Terrelle, who was accepted to the Y’s Summer Learning Loss Prevention Program at Rosehill that focuses on improving reading skills over the summer so kids are more prepared to begin the next grade in the fall. The six-week program also offers enrichment, healthy meals, social interaction and physical activities. Wiesje is especially glad that Terrelle is accepted to go to the summer reading program because he’s her youngest. “I want to make sure he is safe,” she said, adding that it will be great to know he will still keep learning in the summer and bond with his friends. The reading program is also free, thanks to donations and grant funding. Wiesje’s kids are fans of Y Club, too. “They love it,” Wiesje said. “The kids are excited.”
SUMMER PROGRAMS
A
blessing is how Wiesje Sammis describes the Y Club before and after school program. In 2011, Wiesje’s five children started school at Rosehill Elementary in the Shawnee Mission School District. Soon after she learned about Y Club. A single mom, Wiesje (pronounced “Wisha”) is grateful she received a scholarship and reduced rate for her five children to attend the program, which provides a safe environment, homework help, healthy snacks and social opportunities for kids. “I know the kids will learn, and I know they’re safe,” Wiesje said. All five kids also had the opportunity to attend Camp Naish Environmental Day Camp one summer. Now Wiesje has just two kids at the Rosehill Y Club—6th grader Bailey, age 11, and 4th grader Terrelle, age 9. Two of the older kids have moved on to middle school. And the oldest, Aubrianna, is now in 9th grade and gives back as a Y Club volunteer to help with tutoring. “You feel like it’s a second home and not day care,” Wiesje said. “I just love it. It gives me total peace.” The benefits of Y Club carry over at home. One game changer for the family was when Bailey and Terrelle were accepted in the Y Club’s after school tutoring program two years ago. Y Club fees became free, thanks to grant funding for the tutoring program, and both kids are on the Honor Roll now. “We used to sit at the dining room table two to three hours

FOR BETTER HEALTH
Proven program helps reduce risk of diabetes
D
on Osborn had been active and didn’t have a family history of diabetes. So he was shocked to learn after a routine physical that his blood work showed he had prediabetes. A member at Platte County Community Center North operated by the YMCA, Don saw fliers about the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program. He attended a pre-meeting to learn more, and began the year-long program just before Christmas 2015. The program consists of 16 weekly sessions followed by eight monthly sessions. In a relaxed classroom setting, a trained lifestyle coach helps participants learn skills to incorporate healthy eating, more physical activity and other behavior changes into their everyday lives. The goals of the program for each participant are a 7 percent weight loss and an increase in physical activity to 150 minutes a week.
Don Osborn is feeling healthier and reducing his risk of diabetes in the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program.
ABOUT THE YMCA’S DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM
By the time Don was three months into the program, he had already lost 75 percent of the weight he wanted to lose and had worked up to 150 minutes a week of exercise. “I feel really good,” he said. “I feel healthier, I feel more active, I feel so good I could do things that I couldn’t do before.” For example, when his brother asked for help moving, he was able to say yes. And now he’s not carrying around extra weight when he chases his grandson. He’s changed his eating habits as well. Participants in the program are asked to track what they eat. Don uses a mobile app to track his food and learned he needed to monitor the fat grams in his food. “You start making choices about what you’re going to do... plan what you’re going to eat,” he said. The program helps participants learn to do things like check restaurant menus online before eating out so they have all of the nutrition information available to make the healthiest choice. The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program also offers the support of a lifestyle coach and other participants who are experiencing similar challenges. “Sue is my instructor. She does an outstanding job,” Don said. “She really encourages us.” 14

FOR ACHIEVING DREAMS
Students prepare for college and beyond
For Amanda Johnson, Young Achievers has helped her prepare for a successful transition from high school to college to career. 16
“We have this potential that is so great but sometimes it just takes a push for us to see it.” —Amanda Tour, was accepted to five of the schools and received a total of $34,000 in scholarships. When she returned home, she was able to narrow down her choices to Florida A&M, Tuskegee University and Missouri State. The college tours and twice-a-month meetings give students a more in-depth view of what the transition from high school to higher education to career may look like, and what they need to know to be successful. “The best part of Young Achievers is being able to be around people who are supportive,” Amanda said. “And also being able to have hands-on experiences with career exploration that we wouldn’t normally have as part of school.”
ABOUT YOUNG ACHIEVERS
Y PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT
A
s she stood in the bright lights and bustling crowds of New York City’s Times Square with her peers and leaders from the YMCA of Greater City’s Young Achievers program, Amanda Johnson’s life changed. She was a high school sophomore on the Spring 2014 Young Achievers College Tour and 1,200 miles from home. In that moment, she realized something important that she will always carry with her. “We have this potential that is so great but sometimes it just takes a push for us to see it,” she said. “I would have never dreamed of going to Times Square.” But thanks to the Young Achievers program, she had that opportunity. Each year, the Young Achievers College Tour gives teens an opportunity to explore colleges and universities in a different region of the United States. For Amanda, the experiences on that college tour in 2014 helped her plan for the future. “It was very inspiring to see kids who went out of state for college,” she said. “I really started to see myself at a different level of achievement…I gained options.” The college tour is just one way Young Achievers helps teens reach their fullest potential. Throughout her sophomore through senior years of high school, Amanda also attended Young Achievers sessions two Saturdays a month that allow students to learn about college, careers, community service and even life skills such as building positive relationships and managing personal finances. As a senior, Amanda attended the 2016 Spring College

FOR MAKING A SPLASH
A special partnership provides swim lessons
E
ight-year-old twins Harry and Silas Crowe confidently jumped into the deep end of the pool and swam to the wall during a swim lesson at Henley Aquatics Center in Independence. You would never know that just four weeks earlier, the boys were nervous about the lessons. Harry in particular, was uncomfortable in the water after falling into a pool at a friend’s house. “Harry wouldn’t venture away from anything he could hold onto or stand on,” said their dad, Tom Crowe. Now the fear had subsided as the boys and their classmates learned important swim and safety skills from a YMCA instructor. The lessons are provided at no cost to families thanks to a partnership between the Blue Springs Family YMCA and the Independence School District that began in 2012. The district receives grant funds to support the program, and the Y provides certified swim lesson instructors. Secondgraders in the school district ride a bus to the district’s Henley Aquatics Center after school, once a week for six weeks. Students even receive swimsuits if needed. As many as 80 students and 12 teachers are in the water each night of the lessons. For many of the students, Harry and Silas included, it’s the first time they’ve had formal swim lessons. Look no further than this statistic on why it’s so important for kids to learn to swim: Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in children ages 1-14. Partnerships like this one between the Blue Springs Family YMCA and the Independence School District are helping to change this statistic by equipping more kids with the skills needed to keep them safe in the water. Harry said that before the lessons began, he couldn’t swim much. “I tried but I couldn’t,” he said.
Tom Crowe is thankful his sons Silas, left, and Harry, right, have had the opportunity to take swim lessons as part of the Independence School District’s partnership with the Y.
But thanks to the lessons, he and his brother are swimming in the deep end for the first time and learning important skills like floating and proper arm and leg movements in the water. They’re also building confidence along the way. “I feel really good about it and now I’m not shy about the water,” Silas said.
For many of the students, Harry and Silas included, it’s the first time they’ve had formal swim lessons.

Students learn basic skills, including floating, jumping in and getting back to the wall, swimming on their front and back, and treading water. Students who master those skills then work on specific strokes. Lessons also teach safety, such as how to assist someone who is struggling by reaching or throwing a flotation device to them, when to wear a life vest, only to swim where there is a lifeguard, and how to call 911 in an emergency.

FOR INCLUDING EVERYONE
Family finds support from YMCA Challenger
Max Frazier, center, has been involved in YMCA Challenger since it began a decade ago. His brother, Jack, is his volunteer Buddy on the field. Dad Rick, right, coaches the team.

“Challenger has really helped give him a structured outlet.” —Rick Jack, now 18. He started volunteering because he knew Max better than anyone and wanted him to have fun at sports. “It has been great to get to know the other kids and see how Max and his friends have such a great time, and know that I can be a small part of that,” Jack said.
Y PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT
F
rom the very first YMCA Challenger baseball game a decade ago in 2006, the Frazier family has been part of the program. Rick Frazier said his family stumbled into Challenger as a resource for his son, Max, who has special needs. “Sometimes when you’re a family with special needs it’s very isolating,” Rick said. But with YMCA Challenger, he and his wife, Cornelia, found support for Max and for the entire family, which also includes their son, Jack. “We found other families going through similar experiences, and we could share resources with each other,” Rick said. They also found a supportive staff. Rick recalls that in the early days of the program, at the request of families, staff ordered softer cotton shirts for the kids, which would be more comfortable for those with sensory issues. “They want to learn from us, too,” Rick said of the staff, who not only responded to feedback but asked what else they could do to make it a better experience for kids and their families. Soon, the Fraziers were all involved in Challenger—Max playing every sport, his brother Jack supporting him as his Challenger Buddy on the field or on the court, Rick as a coach, and Cornelia volunteering at Challenger fundraisers. Throughout the past 10 years, Max, now 20 years old, has continued to thrive. Not only has the program helped him learn new skills, such as dribbling a soccer ball down the field, but just as beneficial have been the social opportunities. “Max has always been really social,” Rick said. “As social as he is, with his condition, he does sometimes withdraw. Challenger has really helped give him a structured outlet. It’s also established a big network for him of people he’s known for years.” At Max’s side during the past 10 years has been his brother,
