New York City’s YMCA is in the heart of the largest and most ethnically diverse population in the United States serving record numbers of people of nearly every age and background. Our YMCA brings strength to neighborhoods, critically important resources to people and life to community. So much more than a collection of buildings or programs, our people are in the heart of New York City’s YMCA .

The work of the YMCA in New York City is an exercise in capturing the collective love and goodwill of our stakeholders – volunteers, staff, funders – and converting it into life-changing experiences for the children, adults and families whose lives we touch. 2014 was another year of superlatives as our organization reached new levels of community impact. Consider: • On the heels of opening our Coney Island YMCA, the NEW ROCKAWAY YMCA OPENED its doors and was instantly embraced by a grateful community. • More than 550,000 NEW YORKERS ENROLLED IN YMCA PROGRAMS during 2014, an all-time high. • Our Y ROADS CENTER, targeted to helping disconnected young people get their lives on track, completed its first year in JAMAICA, and we opened a second center in the SOUTH BRONX. • We secured $44 MILLION IN CONTRIBUTIONS – a true acid test of a charity’s worth. • Our signature youth programs, designed to foster ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT and HEALTHY LIVING, continued to grow and mature. • Our third Culture Scan revealed an EXCEPTIONALLY POSITIVE STAFF CULTURE which continues to improve year after year.
• We committed to build a NEW YMCA IN THE SOUTH BRONX as part of the La Central project. • We continued to hit HIGH STANDARDS IN FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, accountability and transparency. • Our Board of Directors approved a new STRATEGIC PLAN which extends our YMCA’s commitments to our important work for the next several years – especially valuable during a time of CEO transition. Beyond any program or service, the real work at the Y happens when a staff member meets a kid or an adult and says – I believe in you, I care about you and together we are going to reach your goals. That could mean learning to swim, enrolling in college, beating a drug addiction, speaking English, losing weight, recovering from an illness or just finding a place to fit in. New York City’s YMCA is a place where we hold the door open for one another, where we celebrate and respect our differences and where we believe in the potential of each and every person in this great City. As we begin our 163rd year of continuous service to New York City we especially extend our gratitude to our friends and supporters who have chosen the YMCA as their vehicle for making change in the world.

CO N N EC T I N G TO T H E F U T U RE Going somewhere in a hurry In 2014 the Y’s focus turned to the Bronx — to increase our presence and to expand the range of programs and services available in the borough.
FOR DISCONNECTED YOUTH, THE NEW Y ROADS CENTER IN THE BRONX OPENS A GATEWAY TO SUCCESS. Faced with the challenge of finding employment during tough economic times, young people ages 17 to 24, who are neither working nor in school, have an especially difficult hill to climb. Following the success of the first Y Roads Center in Jamaica, Queens, the new Y Roads Center in the Bronx helps disconnected youth find their way from extraordinarily challenging life situations to gain a foothold to success.
WE A RE NOT IMPROVING A TEST SCORE BY 1% — WE A RE MOVING A YOUNG PERSON FROM PERVA SIVE POVERT Y TO SEL F-SUFFICIENC Y IN A YE A R.
“Our first objective is to stabilize the young person,” says Clare Dwyer, Y Roads Center Director. “By stabilizing the many elements of their lives, we give them the ability and opportunity to become successful adults. What makes our program different is the unique integration of human services.” “From a business standpoint, we are investing in New York City’s young people and we are seeing dramatic, life-changing results,” says Lauren Barr, Senior Executive, Youth & Community Engagement. “We are not (continued on page 8) NEW YORK CITY’S YMCA | 5

improving a test score by 1% — we are moving a kid from pervasive poverty to self-sufficiency in a year. That’s dramatic, and it requires an investment from the community.” “The Bronx represents the latest extension of Y Roads. There are 250,000 young people defined as disconnected youth in New York City and, unfortunately, they are a drain on the city in every borough,” Barr continues. “They are unemployed and they depend on tax-funded support programs. But they don’t want to, and they don’t have to. They

After battling depression and struggling academically in high school, Karla Galo found herself as a young mother with the ambition to help her family lead a better life, but without the support she needed to achieve her goals. Karla found the Y Roads Center in the Bronx where she met a caring team of professionals who immediately helped her find critical resources and then set her on an exciting path for the future.
South Bronx Y will serve as a key community component of a new complex called La Central, encompassing 985 units of affordable housing with 40,000 square feet of retail space and a 160-space commercial garage. Called “The Hub” because of the confluence of subway and bus lines, nearby streets offer a vibrant shopping area for both “walk-to” households as well as for 15-minutes-or-less “bus-to” households. Between 1950 and 1980, mostly during the 1970s, the Bronx population decreased by about 280,000 with most of that loss in the South Bronx. But housing development throughout the South Bronx over the past 20

years has resulted in the Bronx having gained back most of the loss. The YMCA site at The Hub is a walk-to distance for 17,000 households, a bus-to distance for another 63,000 households, and a less-than-1minute walk from the Hub subway station. Two major and heavily used subway lines – the “2” from Manhattan’s West Side and the “5” from Manhattan’s East Side – stop at The Hub (149th Street and Third Avenue). Ten bus lines converge within a 1-minute walk from the site. The YMCA Community Center will be a centerpiece addition to a South Bronx renaissance.

families, but the less time they have to spend with their children. New York City parents want quality afterschool programming to help their kids flourish academically, grow socially and learn. YMCA Youth & Family programming is designed to do just that. Guidance during the afterschool interval is of critical importance, because unsupervised kids show a much higher tendency to engage in unhealthy or even criminal behavior during these vulnerable hours of every afternoon.

opportunities, they learn more about their own individual potential as well as social interaction among others within their community. And by giving kids a safe and supervised place in which to exercise their bodies and minds, parents gain a priceless peace of mind — knowing that their children are under the watchful eyes of professional role models. Thanks to the YMCA, the compromises of being a working parent are dramatically reduced. Parents gain additional earning power with the assurance that their children are in good hands, and kids grow their academic readiness as well as their sense of individual potential and social well-being.

FIGHTING ADDICTION
OF
STATEN ISLAND
The dangerous path from prescription painkillers to heroin ADDICTION IS KILLING NEW YORKERS. Recent years have seen a dramatic transition of ordinary citizens shifting their addiction from prescription painkillers to street heroin, and nowhere in New York City is that trend more pronounced than on Staten Island.
Jacqueline Filis, Executive Director of the Staten Island YMCA Counseling Service, had anticipated a heroin problem for several years because of the soaring rates of painkiller addiction she and her colleagues had observed. Prescription painkillers had been relatively easy to acquire on Staten Island until a state initiative implemented more rigorous monitoring a few years ago. The problem was the simple pricing economics of supply and demand: stricter enforcement drove up the black-market price of prescriptions painkillers at a time when the cost of street heroin was coming down.

of middle- to middle-upper class blue-collar workers may start with a prescribed painkiller. Later they try to feed the addiction for as long as they can afford it.” When one family member is enslaved by addiction, so is the whole family. Because substance abuse undermines home life, the Staten Island YMCA Counseling Service offers hope to individuals and families, including children, whose lives have been turned upside down by addiction. “We are losing one person every five days in Staten Island as a result of addiction,” says Filis. “At the YMCA we’re stabilizing the addict, their families and the whole community. These people need to get better, and the people who support us enable us to achieve that for everyone’s sake.”
STATEN ISLAND S AVI N G L IV ES E V E RY DAY “THERE IS SUCH STIGMA AND SHAME AROUND ADDICTION that you never know if anybody — even your best friend — can understand that you love a family member who is also an addict. When you come to this program, you realize maybe for the first time that you’re not alone. Addiction is a disease that you try to conquer like any other,” says Melissa Forsyth, program participant of the Staten Island YMCA Counseling Service. “Wives, husbands, children, parents — anybody can become an addict and anybody can come here to learn what to do to help their loved ones. I understand what they’re going through because my own son is in recovery. What people need to know is that you should never put your head in the sand or try to explain what’s happening. Not facing the problem soon enough will increase the chance that your family member could die from a bad dose or an overdose. What you need to do is to face it immediately — and you can save lives.”
“ONE OF THE THINGS I L E A RNED IS TH AT I DIDN ’ T DO A NY THING WRONG.”
”The Y program is open to the community and is here to support those who don’t know where to turn. Many people are under the impression that every addict needs a detox but that’s not always the case, especially with opiates. In our program, people are in a protected environment where everyone respects each other’s privacy.” 20 | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
In the Heart of Melissa Forsyth “One of the things I learned from own family situation is that I didn’t do anything wrong. Many parents beat themselves up over what they imagine were their errors, but kids aren’t born with instruction manuals. Even if you raise them as best you can, your kids can still become susceptible to addiction.”

I mean the love for the Y before it even opened was just unbelievable, beyond anyone’s expectations.”
“In an oceanfront community like ours, water safety needs to be a part of every young person’s life. To address that, we have the largest aquatic center in the entire YMCA of Greater New York system.” “The number of people who have joined and participated in a program at the Y has far exceeded our expectations. We are serving thousands of individuals from both sides of the Rockaway Penninsula – day in and day out.” “The YMCA is a great equalizer in the neighborhood and acts as a magnet for the whole community.

MODERATE TO VIGOROUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROGRAM (Y-MVP) inspires kids ages 11 to 17 to regularly engage in fitness. The program begins with an eight week class of fun physical fitness challenges. The kids keep track of their weekly “missions” and “quests” by recording their activities on electronic kiosks. As kids engage in more rigorous exercise, they earn digital badges that acknowledge their achievements and unlock tangible rewards, such as Y-MVP branded water bottles and t-shirts. The program is presented much like an interactive video game and creates friendly, goal-driven competition.

But, it is also really easy for them to fall in love with their time at the Y. What we find is that once a kid joins one Y program, they’ll keep coming back for more. And that’s good news for New York City. From basketball to our new state-of-the-art Y-MVP Teen Fitness Challenge, the Y is helping get New York City kids moving.
T H E Y- MV P PRO G R A M H E L PS K I DS G A I N S E L F - CO N F I D E N C E A N D PU RP OS E .
32 | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
“The Y-MVP program helps kids gain self-confidence and purpose. Whether it’s getting the guts to try a spin class for the first time, or feeling secure around regular exercisers in our fitness centers, I’ve seen young people step out of their comfort zones and try something new as a result of Y-MVP. To me , that’s a real sign of positive change.”

Annual Campaign The Annual Campaign is the chance to ensure that every New Yorker has access to all the benefits of Y facilities and programs. Because no one is ever turned away due to inability to pay, the Annual Campaign helps us make up the shortfall that happens when we offer the opportunity for participation to every single child and adult in all five boroughs. The people named on the following pages have helped the YMCA of Greater New York improve the general well-being of kids and families. Together with these donors we make real change — building a better New York by encouraging people to strengthen their minds, bodies and spirits in socially responsible and community-focused ways.
