2023 IMPACT REPORT | YMCA OF CENTRAL FLORIDA | 1

DEAR Y FAMILY, At the YMCA of Central Florida, 2023 was a year of progress as we took steps to reshape and redefine the Y we need to be in order to both to strengthen our future and to become the Y our community needs us to be.

One pivotal initiative our volunteers and staff leaders undertook in this effort was to develop a new strategic plan vision that will lead us to more than double the number of lives impacted by our Y between now and 2033 to 500,000 neighbors annually.

To achieve such a lofty and worthy aim , we will focus on three :

PEOPLE

COMMUNITY | We will develop partnerships and collaborations and deliver engaging community programing in support of healthier families throughout Central Florida.

ITY UN MM CO

PLACES | We will re-imagine innovative facilities, programs, equipment and venues.

IMPACT AREAS ACHIEVING OUR VISION

PL AC ES

PEOPLE | We will create a welcoming and inclusive culture where all team members and volunteers are valued, resourced, and connected to the Y.

Across this impact report, you’ll see examples of how the Y is already making a difference across Central Florida, and while we know challenges will arise in our journey toward achieving our goals, we take confidence in our cause because we believe in the power of unity. With every interaction, every act of kindness, and every moment of support, we unlock the potential within each individual, cultivating a community that stands taller, stronger, and more inclusive. We believe something changes about people when they have a place to belong.

Kids become teammates. Beginners become regulars. Strangers become a community. And together, we all become stronger and our goals will become a reality.

2023 IMPACT REPORT | YMCA OF CENTRAL FLORIDA | 3

In 2023, the YMCA of Central Florida continued our commitment to providing opportunities for all community members in every stage of life.

According to a study by the National Institutes of Health, overall wellness is key to getting and staying healthy as a person grows older. Participation in social activities by seniors can help prevent isolation and loneliness and is associated with healthier outcomes.

Children and teens are better able to reach their full potential by cultivating the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. By building confident kids today, the Y helps assure they grow into contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.

The YMCA provides social opportunities ranging from health seminars to group training classes and sewing circles.

LIFEGUARDS CERTIFIED

No matter the age, swimming is a vital skill.

Whether ensuring people of all ages how to survive in emergency situations or enjoying a break from the Florida sun with a refreshing swim, the YMCA’s aquatics programs have a profound impact on the Central Florida community. Apart from group and private swimming lessons, the YMCA’s Safety Around Water (SAW) programs aim to eliminate drowning through basic swim skills through community partnerships such as schools, community rec departments and other organizations. The Y’s size and reach uniquely positions the organization to bridge the gap in the delivery of water safety education.

ADAPTIVE SWIM

The CDC reports that children with autism are 160 times more likely to drown than their neurotypical peers.

Thanks in part to the generosity of our donors and a Community Engagement grant for Aquatics, we piloted Adaptive Swim Lessons for children living with Autism in 2023. We were able to provide lessons to 60 children through this initiative and will continue to build capacity for this important work.

IMPACT IN ACTION: “For the first 6 lessons, he (Joseph) would not hang out with me, he wanted to be with his mom because she is his ‘safe place’.

Which is really great because he doesn’t go into the water without her, which follows the “asking permission” part of our curriculum. To make the most our time together, we modified the lessons to have his mom hold him how I would and I instructed her on what we were encouraging him to do, like kicking, getting his head wet and standing independently. He has come a long way in our time together and we are all so proud of him. Not only has he grown in his swimming skills, but also socially and emotionally. He has a love for the water now.”

– Oviedo Y adaptive aquatics swim instructor sharing the story of a student in the program
