TOGETHER | STRONGER | FORWARD YMCA OF CENTRAL FLORIDA | 2024 IMPACT REPORT

DEAR Y FAMILY,

The hallmarks of a thriving Y are strong community support, solid operating fundamentals and an unrelenting focus on missiondriven growth to improve the lives of all in spirit, mind and body.

We made significant strides in these areas in 2024, setting the stage for an even greater impact in the years to come.

Thanks to the commitment of community partners and donors, we were able to expand our impact as we: Served more kids and families in Y Summer Camp Enhanced literacy efforts during our Healthy Kids Day events Offered “pre-hab” services for cancer patients before and during their treatments.

Our partnerships were also pivotal to our progress. Through collaborations, we’ve envisioned an expanded presence in Lake County, repurposed unused land in Orange County, reinvested in our facilities, and restructured our financial backing to better align with our needs and goals.

As we look toward the year ahead, our purpose fuels our commitment to amplify our impact. With a foundation of operational excellence, we will introduce new programs that take our mission where there are no Ys while continuing to expand our free, community-wide healthy living events. We’ll also expand our network of healthcare partners to make preventative healthcare more accessible to all.

We consider it a privilege and a responsibility to serve our community, but we can’t do it alone. We need you to help open doors and to share the good work of the Y with others who can support our mission and our vision. We invite you to join us as volunteers, donors, partners and advocates in advancing this critical work for the good of all in Central Florida.

Together. Stronger. Forward.

In 2024, the YMCA of Central Florida continued our commitment to providing opportunities for all community members in every stage of life.

SAFETY AROUND WATER

No matter the age, swimming is a vital skill. Whether ensuring people of all ages know 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.
