FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 MISSION THE MISSION OF THE TAMPA METROPOLITAN AREA YMCA IS TO PUT JUDEO-CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT BUILD HEALTHY SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY FOR ALL. OVERVIEW THE OLDEST HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATION IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, THE TAMPA METROPOLITAN AREA YMCA HAS BEEN BUILDING COMMUNITY IN TAMPA SINCE 1889. IT IS A POWERFUL ASSOCIATION OF MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF ALL AGES AND FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE JOINED TOGETHER BY A SHARED PASSION: TO STRENGTHEN THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY. WE DO THIS THROUGH NURTURING THE POTENTIAL OF CHILDREN AND TEENS, PROMOTING HEALTHY LIVING AND FOSTERING A SENSE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. FOR 136 YEARS, THE TAMPA Y HAS WORKED TO CREATE A HEALTHIER TAMPA COMMUNITY, HELP KIDS AND FAMILIES AND ENGAGE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE A BETTER TOMORROW. THE Y PROVIDES A PLACE FOR PEOPLE -- REGARDLESS OF AGE, INCOME OR BACKGROUND -- TO BE HEALTHIER, MORE CONFIDENT, CONNECTED AND SECURE. WE LAUNCHED OUR STRATEGIC PLAN (2023-2026) IN 2023 AND HAVE BEEN MAKING SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS ON OUR STRATEGIC FOCUS ON YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, HEALTHY LIVING AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. AS A TOP-RATED 4-STAR CHARITY, FROM QUALITY OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING TO LIFE-SAVING SWIM LESSONS, VALUE-BASED YOUTH SPORTS AND ENGAGING HEALTHY ACTIVITIES FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY, OUR PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES DEVELOP A HEALTHY SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY FOR ALL. THAT'S BECAUSE WE WORK TOGETHER WITH OUR VOLUNTEERS TO IDENTIFY CRITICAL SOCIAL NEEDS WITHIN THE TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY AND THEN DEVELOP PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THAT ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS. SOME OF THESE INITIATIVES INCLUDE: " LAUNCHED OPERATION STRONG FAMILIES (OSF) AND OPERATION HERO (OH) IN 2024. OSF PROVIDES MILITARY FAMILIES A SPACE TO GROW IN HEALTH, CONNECTEDNESS AND MENTAL WELLNESS. OH IS AN ENRICHMENT PROGRAM DESIGNED TO SUPPORT MILITARY CHILDREN WHO EXPERIENCE ACADEMIC DIFFICULTIES AND CHILDREN WHO DEMONSTRATE DIFFICULTY DEALING WITH EMOTIONS OR OTHER BARRIERS. " INTRODUCED TWO NEW LICENSED PRESCHOOLS IN 2024. BOTH LOCATIONS, YMCA CAMP SIERRA AND CENTRAL CITY YMCA, OFFER EVIDENCE-BASED CURRICULUM DEDICATED TO PROMOTING THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL WELL-BEING OF EVERY CHILD. THEY ARE LED BY CERTIFIED AND EXPERIENCED CHILDCARE STAFF TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF EDUCATION AND CARE. " PROVIDING KIDS WITH TOOLS FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL THROUGH OUT-OF-SCHOOL ACADEMIC SUPPORT, AND EARLY LEARNING INITIATIVES, WHICH PREPARE CHILDREN FOR KINDERGARTEN AND SUMMER CAMP EXPERIENCES THAT PREVENT SUMMER LEARNING LOSS. " LAUNCHED THE YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT (YIG) PROGRAM IN THE FALL OF 2024. YIG ALLOWS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO SERVE AS PART OF A YOUTH-RUN, YOUTH-LED GOVERNMENT PROCESS. THE MODEL GOVERNMENT PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR A LOVE OF ENGAGED AND ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP BUILT ON THE VALUES OF CIVIL DEBATE, STATESMANSHIP AND RESEARCH-BASED POLICY SOLUTIONS. " PREVENTING DEATH DUE TO DROWNING THROUGH WATER SAFETY AND SWIM LESSONS. " PROVIDING CANCER SURVIVORS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH A SUPPORTIVE PLACE TO HEAL THROUGH THE YMCA SURVIVORSHIP AND WELLNESS PROGRAM POWERED BY MOFFITT. AND NOW, OUR THRIVERS CLUB PROGRAM, A CHILDREN'S CANCER SUPPORT GROUP FOR CHILDREN AGED 6-17. " REDUCING ADULT AND CHILDHOOD OBESITY AND THE ASSOCIATED CHRONIC DISEASES, SUCH AS TYPE 2 DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, PARKINSON'S, ARTHRITIS AND SOME CANCERS. " FIGHTING FOOD INSECURITY THROUGH THE TAMPA YMCA'S VEGGIE VAN - A MOBILE MARKET PLACE, WHICH TAKES FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES DIRECTLY TO KIDS AND FAMILIES IN TARGETED HIGH-NEED NEIGHBORHOODS. ADDITIONALLY, THE YMCA OPERATES A FOOD PANTRY IN SULPHUR SPRINGS TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY, WHICH IS IN A FOOD DESERT. " PROVIDING CHILDREN AND TEENS WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN LIFE BY TEACHING LIFE SKILLS THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS, DAY CAMPS AND TEEN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. " HELPING OLDER COMMUNITY MEMBERS MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL HEALTH WHILE AGING. " REDUCING GENERATIONAL POVERTY THROUGH EDUCATION AND REVITALIZING VULNERABLE NEIGHBORHOODS. " VALUING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION BY BEING A WELCOMING PLACE FOR ALL -- REGARDLESS OF AGE, INCOME OR BACKGROUND. ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE BUILDING COMMUNITY BY MAKING PROGRESS ON SEVERAL CAPITAL PROJECTS, INCLUDING OUR TAMPA HEIGHTS DEVELOPMENT. THE REDEVELOPMENT OF OUR TAMPA HEIGHTS PROPERTIES WILL NOT ONLY ALLOW US TO PROVIDE A NEW, STATE-OF-THE-ART YMCA FOR OUR CENTRAL CITY COMMUNITY, BUT IT WILL ALSO POSITION US TO BETTER SERVE THIS VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOOD. ADDITIONALLY, OUR 18,000-SQUARE-FOOT SPURLINO FAMILY YMCA GYMNASIUM ADDITION WAS COMPLETED IN JANUARY 2025. THE GYMNASIUM HELPS US ADDRESS A CRUCIAL COMMUNITY NEED AND ENABLES US TO PROVIDE EVEN MORE IMPACTFUL PROGRAMS TO A SOUTH COUNTY COMMUNITY THAT CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH. WE CELEBRATED A RIBBON-CUTTING AND BROKE GROUND ON OUR NEW MARY W. SIERRA FAMILY YMCA IN WESLEY CHAPEL IN MAY OF 2025. THIS NEW FACILITY WILL ALLOW US TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF ONE OF THE FASTEST-GROWING COMMUNITIES IN OUR REGION. SPEAKING OF COMMUNITY NEEDS, WE ARE HERE FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO NEED A PLACE TO FEEL MORE CONFIDENT, HEALTHY, CONNECTED AND SECURE. FROM OCTOBER 31, 2024, TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2025, THE TAMPA Y SERVED 48,223 INDIVIDUALS AT LITTLE OR NO COST TO THE PARTICIPANT, THANKS TO THE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS AND VOLUNTEER EFFORTS OF Y MEMBERS, VOLUNTEERS, COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND FOUNDATION SUPPORT. KEY TO THE TAMPA Y'S SUCCESS IS ITS VOLUNTEERS AND VISIONARY LEADERSHIP. THE TAMPA Y'S GOVERNANCE BOARD SETS POLICY AND CONTINUOUSLY EVALUATES Y PROGRAMS AND OUTREACH TO ENSURE MISSION COMPLIANCE AND ALIGNMENT WITH COMMUNITY NEEDS. ADVISORY BOARDS OVERSEE INDIVIDUAL CENTERS ACROSS TAMPA BAY. WE BELIEVE EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO Y PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT HELP THEM LEARN, GROW AND THRIVE. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH DISPARITIES IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE WILL BECOME MORE MOBILE IN OUR EFFORTS TO BUILD OUR CAPACITY TO REACH FAMILIES BEYOND OUR FACILITIES. FURTHERMORE, WE WILL USE OUR INFLUENCE TO CONVENE PARTNERS AND LEVERAGE RESOURCES TO ENSURE EQUITABLE ACCESS FOR ALL. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT THE Y BELIEVES EVERY CHILD DESERVES THE SUPPORT, GUIDANCE AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO BE WHO THEY ARE AND DISCOVER WHO THEY CAN BECOME. THE TAMPA Y'S YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOSTER THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN, PARENTS AND FAMILIES. BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT (BASE) AND SUMMER DAY CAMP PROGRAMS PREPARE CHILDREN FOR THE FUTURE BY PROVIDING AN ASSET-RICH, VALUE-BASED HIGH-QUALITY FOUNDATION. BASE SUPPORTS CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES BY ALLOWING PARENTS TO BALANCE WORK AND LIFE RESPONSIBILITIES, WITH THE CONFIDENCE THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE LEARNING AND THRIVING IN A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT WITH CERTIFIED BASE COUNSELORS.

FOR PARENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE FULL FEE, CARE IS PROVIDED ON A SLIDING FEE SCALE, BASED ON NEED. THE Y COLLABORATED WITH THE AMERICAN CAMP ASSOCIATION TO CREATE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR CAMPS, PARENTS, AND CAMPERS AS WELL AS STATE AND LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS. THE TAMPA Y NURTURES THE POTENTIAL OF TAMPA-AREA YOUTH BY OFFERING PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE CHILDREN AND TEENS WITH THE SKILLS NEEDED TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND LIFE. Y ACTIVITIES ENABLE A CHILD TO SET GOALS, WORK TOWARD ACHIEVING THESE GOALS AND GET THE SUPPORT THEY NEED FROM ENGAGED, COMMITTED ADULTS. THE Y BELIEVES A CONFIDENT CHILD TODAY IS A CONTRIBUTING AND ENGAGED ADULT TOMORROW. BELOW ARE A HANDFUL OF YOUTH DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS IN 2024/25: " Y TEEN ACHIEVERS PROVIDES AT-RISK TEENS WITH INTENSIVE ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE, ADULT MENTORS AND JOB-SHADOWING OPPORTUNITIES. " Y TEEN LEADERS' CLUB IS A LEADERSHIP PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES TEENS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP LIFE SKILLS, BUILD SELF-CONFIDENCE AND BECOME LEADERS OF TOMORROW. " VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS: THE TAMPA Y PROVIDES YOUTH WITH NUMEROUS VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AND COLLABORATES WITH OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS. " ADAPTIVE PROGRAMS OFFER CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BENEFIT FROM PROGRAMS THEY WOULD NOT NORMALLY BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN. THE TAMPA Y IS ONE OF A HANDFUL OF ORGANIZATIONS OFFERING ADAPTIVE SPORTS, SWIM AND ART PROGRAMMING IN THE TAMPA BAY AREA. THE Y HAS LONG RECOGNIZED THAT INVOLVEMENT IN SPORTS CAN HAVE A LASTING IMPACT IN PROVIDING YOUTH WITH A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO DEVELOP PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. AT THE TAMPA Y, YOUTH SPORTS ARE USED TO GATHER YOUTH AND DETER THEM FROM NEGATIVE BEHAVIORS. ALL YMCA YOUTH SPORTS ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS BASKETBALL, AQUATICS AND GOLF ARE THE VEHICLES FOR CONNECTING WITH YOUTH TO BUILD VALUES, SELF-CONFIDENCE, RESPECT AND TEAMWORK. THE TAMPA Y IS COMMITTED TO LONG-TERM, RESULTS-DRIVEN PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS SUMMER LEARNING LOSS, EARLY LEARNING AND OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME. THE GOAL IS TO CATCH THESE STUDENTS UP BEFORE KINDERGARTEN, ENABLING THEM TO BE PREPARED FOR THEIR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, THEN PROVIDE THEM WITH ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE AFTER-SCHOOL AND CONTINUED ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, WHEN THEY'D ORDINARILY FALL BEHIND THEIR PEERS. IN 2024/25, THE TAMPA Y CONTINUED ITS YMCA READS! PROGRAM TO NOURISH THE MINDS OF EARLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN WHO NEED THE MOST HELP AND SET THEM ON A PATH FOR FUTURE LEARNING. YMCA READS! IS A READING INTERVENTION PROGRAM FOR KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 4TH-GRADE STUDENTS THAT CREATES POSITIVE, NURTURING ENVIRONMENTS WITHIN THE SULPHUR SPRINGS PK-8 COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP SCHOOL AND PIZZO K-8 SCHOOL, IMPACTING MORE THAN 100 STUDENTS AT NO COST TO THEM. THE PROGRAM USES PROVEN, RESEARCH-BASED TOOLS TO IGNITE YOUNG MINDS AT RISK FOR LIFELONG READING DIFFICULTIES. THIS CURRICULUM FOCUSES ON THE ABILITY TO HEAR SOUNDS WITHIN WORDS, THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SOUNDS AND SYMBOLS, THE SPEED AND QUALITY OF ORAL READING, VOCABULARY, COMPREHENSION AND TEXT-TO-LIFE CONNECTIONS. THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS WHO MEET TWICE A WEEK WITH NO MORE THAN THREE K-4 STUDENTS AT A TIME. THE TAMPA Y CONTINUED TO IMPLEMENT A YMCA READS!

ADDITIONALLY, STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THREE, FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE AND TECHNICAL SCHOOL TOURS.

COLLECTIVELY, THESE EXPERIENCES HELP PARTICIPANTS HONE THEIR FUTURE PLANS AND COUPLED WITH ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL PROGRAMMING AND GUIDANCE, TO START TO TAKE THE STEPS THAT TURN THOSE PLANS INTO REALITY. THE FREE PROGRAM PROVIDES CRITICAL GUIDANCE AND INTERVENTION FOR STUDENTS WHO NEED IT THE MOST. THE TAMPA Y CONTINUED ITS TEEN SUMMER EXPERIENCE PROGRAM.

DURING THE SUMMER, 25 MIDDLE SCHOOLERS FROM SULPHUR SPRINGS PK-8 COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP SCHOOL AND SLIGH MIDDLE SCHOOL PARTICIPATED IN POSITIVE ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMING TO LIMIT SUMMER LEARNING LOSS. WHILE THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF THE TAMPA Y'S TEEN ACHIEVERS PROGRAM IS ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND ON-TIME GRADE PROMOTION, THE PROGRAM ALSO EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDANCE AND RELATIONSHIP-BUILDING TO FOSTER INDIVIDUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT AND FACILITATE SUPPORT NETWORKS AMONG THE STUDENTS. THE INITIATIVE SEEKS TO EXPLORE A VISION OF SUCCESS FOR EACH STUDENT'S FUTURE WITH A FOCUS ON COLLEGE AND CAREER GOALS. ALONG WITH EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT, THE TAMPA Y IS PROVIDING KIDS WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN LIFE. THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS, DAY CAMPS AND TEEN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS, KIDS ARE LEARNING VALUABLE QUALITIES, SUCH AS TEAMWORK, PERSEVERANCE AND BEING THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER. WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING KIDS WITH HELPFUL STAFF WHO SERVE AS QUALITY ROLE MODELS FOR PARTICIPANTS. SUPPORTING THE HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THROUGH A VALUES-BASED CULTURE, THE TAMPA Y'S YOUTH PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO INTENTIONALLY INSTILL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF INSPIRATION, HEALTH, ACHIEVEMENT, BELONGING, RELATIONSHIPS, MEANING, SAFETY, CHARACTER AND GIVING.

APPROXIMATELY TWO IN EVERY FIVE ADULTS AND ONE IN FIVE CHILDREN, IN THE UNITED STATES IS OBESE, ACCORDING TO THE LATEST FIGURES FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION. OBESITY CAN LEAD TO A VARIETY OF CHRONIC HEALTH ISSUES, INCLUDING DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. AS A COMMUNITY LEADER IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS, THE TAMPA Y HELPS FAMILIES UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND A BALANCED DIET.

THESE INCLUDE THE Y DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM, PEDALING FOR PARKINSON'S, ENHANCE FITNESS, PERSONAL TRAINING AND THE YMCA SURVIVORSHIP AND WELLNESS PROGRAM POWERED BY MOFFITT. FITNESS AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS FOR ACTIVE OLDER ADULTS AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS ALSO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO GET HEALTHIER AND CONNECT WITH NEW FRIENDS. IN 2025, THE TAMPA YMCA ENTERED ITS TENTH YEAR WITH THE GROUNDBREAKING INITIATIVE CALLED THE VEGGIE VAN - A MOBILE MARKET PLACE. THE VEGGIE VAN TAKES FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES DIRECTLY TO SENIORS AND FAMILIES IN THE TARGETED HIGH-NEED NEIGHBORHOODS OF HILLSBOROUGH AND EAST PASCO COUNTIES. FROM OCTOBER 1, 2024, TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2025, THE VEGGIE VAN PROVIDED 262,350 MEALS TO 27,744 KIDS, SENIORS AND FAMILIES.

ANOTHER WAY THE Y PREVENTS CHILDHOOD OBESITY IS THROUGH OUR YOUTH HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS. BEGINNING IN 2021, THE SULPHUR SPRINGS NEIGHBORHOOD OF PROMISE (SSNOP) OBTAINED FUNDING FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND THE FLORIDA CHILDREN'S INITIATIVE, WHICH ADDED ANOTHER FIT CLUB PROGRAM AND GARDEN CLUB TO SERVE AN ADDITIONAL 60 KIDS IN OUR SULPHUR SPRINGS COMMUNITY Y AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM FOCUSING ON NUTRITION EDUCATION, INCREASING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND INCORPORATING THE USE OF FITBITS. WE CONTINUE TO FACILITATE KIDS POWER, FUNDED BY BAYCARE, AT FOUR OF OUR Y AFTER-SCHOOL SITES, FOUR COMMUNITY SITES AND THREE CAMP SITES SERVING OVER 460 KIDS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AT THE TAMPA Y, WE BELIEVE LASTING PERSONAL AND SOCIAL CHANGE IS BEST ACCOMPLISHED WHEN WE ALL WORK TOGETHER TO INVEST IN OUR KIDS, OUR HEALTH AND OUR NEIGHBORS. WE WORK WITH OUR MEMBERS, BOARD MEMBERS, VOLUNTEERS, COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE, WHICH POSITIVELY IMPACTS TAMPA BAY RESIDENTS. THE Y'S WORK IN SULPHUR SPRINGS IS ONE EXAMPLE OF OUR LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS. BY ALIGNING SOCIAL SERVICES WITH EDUCATION, WE ARE PROVIDING FAMILIES AND CHILDREN IN SULPHUR SPRINGS (ONE OF TAMPA'S MOST SOCIOECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED NEIGHBORHOODS) WITH THE TOOLS AND SUPPORT THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND LIFE. SERVING THE SULPHUR SPRINGS COMMUNITY SINCE 2008, THE SULPHUR SPRINGS YMCA OFFERS YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMMING AND SUPPORT TO THE SULPHUR SPRINGS PK-8 COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH AFTER-SCHOOL AND SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMMING.

IN KEEPING WITH THE Y'S MISSION AND VISION, STAFF TAKE A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO PROGRAMMING, FOCUSING ON ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT, HEALTHY LIVING AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT. THE SULPHUR SPRINGS Y ALSO ENGAGES PARENTS AND FAMILIES IN A MEANINGFUL WAY THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS REGARDING THEIR CHILD'S ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL/BEHAVIORAL PROGRESS, FAMILY-FRIENDLY EVENTS AND COMMUNITY-BUILDING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES. THE SULPHUR SPRINGS YMCA SERVED 114 CHILDREN IN AFTER-SCHOOL AND ANOTHER 126 THROUGH SUMMER CAMP ENROLLMENT. THE Y SUMMER CAMP IS DEDICATED TO CURBING SUMMER LEARNING LOSS THROUGH ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS PARTICIPATION IN A VARIETY OF ENRICHMENT CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES. LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS, LIKE SULPHUR SPRINGS, LACK ACCESS TO FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, EITHER BECAUSE THEY AREN'T SOLD WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OR BECAUSE THEY COST TOO MUCH. RESEARCH SUGGESTS THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC IS MORE PREVALENT IN LOW-INCOME AREAS DUE TO LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS, SAFE PLACES FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND ACCESS TO PREVENTATIVE HEALTHCARE SERVICES. THE TAMPA YMCA IS HELPING TURN THE EPIDEMIC AROUND WITH THE YMCA LEARNING GARDEN IN SULPHUR SPRINGS. THE Y HOSTS OUTDOOR CLASSROOM EXPERIENCES WHERE SULPHUR SPRINGS Y STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY FAMILIES LEARN HOW TO IDENTIFY VARIOUS TYPES OF PRODUCE AND INCORPORATE HEALTHY EATING HABITS INTO THEIR LIFESTYLES. THIS YEAR, 50 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE CLUB AND WERE ABLE TO TAKE 100 GALLONS OF NEEDED FOOD HOME JUST BEFORE SPRING BREAK. AS PART OF OUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE BACK TO NEIGHBORS IN NEED, THE TAMPA Y IS FILLING THE COMMUNITY'S HUNGER GAP WITH A FREE OUT-OF-SCHOOL FOOD PROGRAM. SINCE 2010, THE Y HAS BEEN PROVIDING FREE MEALS TO OUR AFTERSCHOOL STUDENTS (SNACK AND DINNER) AND SUMMER CAMPERS (BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND SNACK) TO HELP KIDS STAY WELL-NOURISHED, ACTIVE AND ENERGIZED - WHILE ALSO PROVIDING SOME RELIEF TO FAMILIES WHO NEED SUPPORT.

THE Y'S MOST IMPACTFUL DROWNING PREVENTION PROGRAM IS THE FREE WATER SAFETY PROGRAM OFFERED AT NO COST TO THE COMMUNITY.
