WHY WE’RE HERE FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Nurturing the potential of every child and teen
FOR HEALTHY LIVING
Improving our community’s health and well-being
FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. that’s why, through the YMCA, millions of youth today are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. In neighborhoods across the five boroughs, the YMCA is a leading voice on health and well-being. the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, nearly 400,000 youth, adults and families are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.
Giving back and providing support to our neighbors
the YMCA has been listening and responding to New York City’s most critical social needs for 160 years. Whether developing skills or emotional well-being through education and training, welcoming and connecting diverse demographic populations through global services, or preventing chronic disease and building healthier communities through collaborations with policymakers, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve.
We’re Here for Good. It’s been the signature phrase of New York City’s YMCA since early 2008, and it describes the Y’s commitment to building the foundations of—and strengthening—our communities, through nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving community health and well-being and providing opportunities to give back and support neighbors.
We’re here for you and your family. We’re here for the community. We’re here for good.

HELP US US KEEP KEEP OUR OUR PROMISE HELP PROMISE
The Coney Island YMCA is Here for Good every day of the year, and never more so than in challenging and uncertain times by continuing to offer life-enhancing Y programs to our community. The Annual Campaign is a way for us to give back to the community we have served for our 120 years. Your support of the YMCA Annual Campaign gives children and families in our community the chance to grow stronger in spirit, mind and body. Last year we reached over 1 ,000 people, more than 4,000 of whom were local youth and teens. We are so grateful to be able to offer programs and participation to our community regardless of their ability to pay. In 2015, our summer camp enrolled more than 00 children and provided over $10,000 in much needed financial support for over 25% of the children who attended. We had the ability to provide financial assistance to hundreds of members in financial crisis. Without the support of our community through the Annual Campaign none of this would have been possible. Please consider investing in the future of our community by making a generous donation to the Annual Campaign this year. To find out how you can contribute to the Annual Campaign and learn about other giving opportunities please contact Sam Moore, Executive Director at (718)215-6900 or smoore@ymcanyc.org.

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS
Parent/Child Aquatic Program (6-36 months) this program reaches children and parents early in their relationship. Parents are given guidance on how to develop their children’s abilities and how to protect their children from harm in, on, and around the water; children are given the chance to explore a new environment and to build skills that add to their self-confidence. Both benefit from taking part in an experience that lets them learn and have fun together in the water. *Please note: Parent/Child classes are meant to increase a child’s comfort level in the water and are not intended to teach children how to swim. the skills taught in the Parent/Child Aquatic Program center around five main components: Personal safety: Activities that help increase awareness of personal safety issues for both the child and the family, including boating safety Personal growth: Activities that help the child and the family grow in spirit, mind, and body, including character development Stroke development: Activities that help develop swimming abilities so participants can move in the water safely Water sports and games: Activities that help develop an appreciation of aquatic activities that may last a lifetime, including age-appropriate games and songs. Rescue: Activities that build awareness of how to help others in aquatic emergencies

this is an introduction to the aquatic environment for parents and their infants. Parents are encouraged to develop appropriate expectations for their children’s performance in the water. they learn basic aquatic safety and have a positive experience with their children that can help them grow closer. this level continues to provide positive aquatic experiences for parents and infants. the infants learn basic water skills and have fun playing with toys and flotation devices. Parents review and learn more about basic aquatic safety.
Children do more independent exploration of the aquatic environment with help from parents. the parents again review and learn additional information about aquatic safety. the program provides opportunities for parent-child teams to socialize with each other. Children start moving more independently through the water under their parents’ guidance. Parents learn more about aquatic and boating safety, and children begin to learn something about these topics as well. At this point the instructor begins to prepare the children to work directly with an instructor on their own.
