HOW WE BUILD ON
OUR STRENGTH
YMCA Canada supports and strengthens member associations by developing
national programs and resources. Our newest program, Creating Balance,
helps individuals balance weight management with their lifestyle to ensure
long term results.

A national YMCA Playing to Learn curriculum,

developed by the lead association, the YMCA
of Greater Toronto, is helping preschoolers
in YMCA Child Care to actively learn through
creative play while also preparing them
for kindergarten.
To support associations in responding to community needs, YMCA Canada
provides research on societal trends, emerging issues and innovations.
Our data collection and Strong Association Profile has enabled YMCAs to
assess and improve their performance while building on their strengths.

Our first national YMCA Day Camp Satisfaction Survey confirmed that day
campers and their parents are very happy with their experience. To maintain
high service and quality standards in fitness, health and recreation, anonymous
researchers visited member associations to assess their service performance
based on 90 quality measures.

YMCA HEALTHY
CHILDREN AND
YOUTH
A major initiative of our new strategic plan is the development of a national
YMCA Healthy Children and Youth Strategy. With 7 million children and
youth under the age of 18 in Canada, YMCAs are working to instill healthy
habits in children and youth that can be carried into adulthood.

We currently reach half a million children and youth, and we’d like to help many
more enjoy a fun, healthy lifestyle. YMCA programs help lay the foundation
for their future health habits and emotional well being. Through YMCA child
care, recreation, fitness, leadership development, camp and youth clubs,
YMCAs help children and youth build character, resilience and encourage
personal growth and well-rounded lives.

Over the next five years, YMCA Canada together with associations will leverage
the YMCA’s current children and youth programs, expertise, community links
and vast knowledge-base to create a YMCA Healthy Children and Youth Strategy.
It will guide and support everything we do related to children and youth. It
will direct our work in policy development, YMCA program development,
design of facility spaces, best practices, partnership choices, training of
staff and volunteers, communication messages, and the development of
success measures.

Our ultimate goal is to engage children,

youth and families to embrace fun,
healthy habits that can become a lifelong
practice. Our emphasis is on total health
in spirit, mind and body.
