Mission: The southside virginia family ymca is a charitable, community service organization that includes men, women, and children of all ages, abilities, incomes, races and religions. The organization is dedicated to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.
Programs: Health and well being for all - at a time when 17% of children and nearly two thirds of adults are classified as obese, the ymca provides over 5,000 people with supportive relationships and a nurturing environment that is needed for their wellness journey. Men, women, children, teens and seniors are pursuing a heatlhier lifestyle at the ymca with over 600 families benefiting from our assistance program.
school's out care - in a community where both parents working is the norm, the ymca has assumed the role of guardian during the day when school is out but it is still a work day for parents. The ymca nationally is the largest provider of child care. The program has a holistic approach, being inclusive of the spirit, mind, and body.
outreach and community support - the ymca, as a community leader and responder to community needs, has risen to the request of the community. The ymca's annual healthy kis day has over 200 community members attending. The aquademics program teaches all second graders in prince edward county and cumberland county to swim for free. Other outreach programs are activiate southside program for families dealing with obesity, learn to swim, adaptive adults and the livestrong cancer program. These outreach programs are free and open to the public.
