But now, more than ever, kids are falling behind if we do not act fast. The facts are staggering:
Every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, but many kids and families are getting stopped on their way.
With your help, we're strengthening kids’ skills and social emotional learning during the pandemic through in-person educational support programs like Y Leap Academy, early learning programs, high school AP support, and kindergarten readiness support. You can provide safe child care, educational support, and social emotional learning for kids whose parents cannot work from home.
Kids are without playmates and many outdoor and physical activities are not available. Parents and care givers are disconnected from other adults who could traditionally help support children. Loneliness is amplified and young people have less access to building critical social emotional skills than ever before.
You can provide skill building, educational support, and physical activities for kids and families at home through virtual programs. We're connect students and families to live and recorded virtual programs and activities like Afterschool in a Box and virtual teen programs, Youth and Government and Youth Earth Service Corps.
The Y’s Social Impact Center works to dismantle systemic inequities by connecting kids, teens, and young adults with critical support and resources.
There are many ways to make a difference through the Y: Make a pledge, donate stock, volunteer, or learn about planned giving and matching gifts!
With a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, improving health and well-being, and supporting our neighbors, your membership will not just bring about meaningful change in yourself, but also in your community.
