Mission: Building strong children, families and communities through programs that teach caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Leading the values development movement in dupage county since 1919. Programs operate from a solid base of values drawn from judeo-christian roots, helping individuals to: grow personally, distinguish right from wrong, strengthen personal and family relationships, and have a lot of fun. Committment to working families firmly remains one of the organization's most distinguishing characteristics as core values continue to be reinforced with members and guests of all ages. Through childcare, teen outreach, senior programs, fitness programs, aquatics sports and community collaborations, through a tradition of responding to the community needs. Many of the programs and resources are simply not available anywhere else in the community, including indian guides and princesses, summer camps and financial assistance programs providing membership and program scholarships.
Programs: Community programs: b. R. Ryall ymca of northwestern dupage county provides community programming to everyone, regardless of age, income or background. With a focus on safety, health, social growth and academic enhancement, safe n sound, our y's before- and after-school program, serves grades 1-5, offering a variety of programmatic and activity options to explore and develop their interests and talents. Bright beginnings offers full-day and partial-day child care for toddlers through preschoolers, enabling parents and family members to go to work knowing their children are in safe, stimulating environments. Additional community opportunities include y's adventure guides program, annual community cookout, seasonal special events, speakers and programming throughout the year to promote our three objectives: youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
swimming and aquatic programs: each year and everyday at our y, children learn the lifesaving skill of swimming or enhance their abilities to participate in the lifelong sport. Opportunities involve progressive lessons, private instruction and water-related aquatics classes for all ages and abilities, and year-round competitive swim team involvement comprised of six different groups appropriate for beginner to elite swimmers.
health and fitness programs: being healthy means more than simply being physically active. True health is a balance of spirit, mind and body. With a mission centered on this balance, the y offers programs and resources that brings families together, encourages healthy living, promotes life-long learning and fosters connections with friends new and old through shared interests. Family activities, fitness group exercise classes and sports & recreation programming are just a few of the opportunities available at the b. R. Ryall ymca. Youth sports, adult leagues, a variety of classes and special wellness activities are presented seasonally at the y and attract thousands of participants each year.
other programs: social responsibility and special events are other vital components to programming at the y. The b. R. Ryall ymca hosts an annual 5k/1mile fun run, a charity golf outing, holiday celebrations, and philanthropy initiatives (christmas tree lot) each year. Additionally, we encourage participation in volunteer activities, social responsibility efforts, service clubs and community-wide support initiatives.
