GivingTuesday is a global movement that inspires millions of people to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity. This year, GivingTuesday will be observed on Tuesday, Dec. 1.
Recognizing the challenges brought on by COVID-19, the YMCA pivoted its efforts to address new critical needs. This year, the YMCA of Youngstown will focus on three initiatives.
They include:
• YMCA Scholastic Support Program – The program is led by YMCA staff and tutors and assists children with online schoolwork while their parents are at work.
• Swim Whisperers Program – Teaches swimming to children with developmental or physical disabilities.
• YMCA membership assistance – A YMCA membership is available tp all, regardless of the ability to pay. Due to donor support, the Y is able to supplement membership fees for those in need.
