our commitment to the community begins with our 16 branch locations across the region from Petersburg to ashland and goochland to sandston. The opening of the atlee station Family ymCa in november now offers hanover County residents two y locations where families find time to play, neighbors meet and the community gathers.
We don’t do it alone. strengthening the foundations of our community requires hundreds of diverse collaborators equally committed to our cause. every day in our local ys and dozens of school and community sites, we provide programs that focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. as we began to speak differently about our work, we also organized it into these three areas of focus.
our focus on youth development enabled us to deliver programs for students in seven school districts last year. before- and after-school care, camp, ymCa bright beginnings and youth sports opportunities are possible because we work with teachers, school administrators and civic and business leaders to ensure that we nurture the potential of every child regardless of his or her socioeconomic environment.
Central virginia is not immune to the obesity epidemic our nation is facing. yet, we are among the most active communities in the country. The y’s partnerships with leading organizations committed to
our residents’ health and wellness means we do have an opportunity to ensure we are as healthy as possible. Collaborating with sports backers, our 2011 ymCa 10k Training Team prepared nearly 4,000 individuals for the Ukrop’s monument avenue 10k, making it the largest 10k training team in the country. Working with vCU massey Cancer Center, hCa and bon secours, we support individuals of all ages battling chronic diseases.
as one of the largest charities in the region, we exist as a catalyst for others to give back to our community and neighbors. in addition to the thousands of volunteers each year who donate their time and money to support the y’s mission, organizations turn to the y for facility use that benefits their own programs. big brothers big sisters, special olympics virginia and asK Childhood Cancer Foundation are a few of the important community partners for whom we opened our doors in 2011 to work together and offer opportunities for all ages and abilities.
Within the pages of this annual report, it is very exciting to share different perspectives of these remarkable collaborations. donors, collaborators and participants share what it meant for them to find a place at the y. on behalf of everyone who benefited this past year from the y’s response to our community, we thank you for your support!

STReNgTheNINg the foundations
deeply rooted in your community for 157 years, the YMca of greater Richmond has provided support and opportunities to people throughout the area. as a result of our efforts, we empower people to learn, grow and thrive every day. in 2011, through programs and memberships, we served 165,775 members of our community and our goal is to see those numbers climb even higher. our 2,649 staff members and 6,696 volunteers team up with one purpose in mind and that is to strengthen our community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the benefits of the Y. in 2011, we provided $6,413,133 in financial assistance to families and individuals.
The Y is grateful for the generous support we received from 6,696 volunteer leaders, fundraisers and policy makers. in 2011, we received $3,403,764 in charitable contributions to help support our programs.
every day, the Y is committed to improving the health and well-being of people in our community. our partnership with 113 local corporations last year helped make this effort a reality.
The Y is keeping local senior citizens active. last year, 5,586 older adults participated in silversneakers®, a fun, energizing program that helps them take better control of their health through physical activity and social events. in 2011, over 9,338 seniors participated in ymCa activities.

We are personally committed to saving lives and reducing childhood obesity. last year, the y helped motivate 8,577 children to get fit through our youth sports programs and 2,898 second graders were given free basic swim lessons through ymCa learn to swim. a total of 70,568 swim lessons were taught in 2011.
The Y is dedicated to giving area children the tools they need to succeed each school year. in august, we host ymCa bright beginnings that provides children from low-income families with new clothes, shoes and a backpack filled with supplies. Thanks to the generous contributions of community donors, the y received $449,043 for this program in 2011. This generous donation allowed more than 2,400 students to get the school year started on the right foot.
We encourage the bonds of a father-child relationship in the great outdoors through our Y guides program. last year, 3,062 fathers, sonsand daughters participated in this program.
The Y nurtures the potential of every child and teen through our youth development programs and services. We operate 39 child care sites, that serve a total of 3,868 children. in the summer months, the y provides activities and learning opportunities for 3,919 children at ymCa day Camps. in 2011, we hosted 34 youth in our metro Teens and 273 ymCa leaders’ Club members, giving them the chance to gain leadership and employment skills.

The ymCa growing younger health and wellness program consists of a chair-based exercise class that works on an individual’s flexibility, strength and muscular endurance through
fun and engaging exercises. The program began after the ymCa of greater richmond was approached by an anonymous donor through the Community Foundation serving richmond and Central virginia. Today, the program is funded through generous donations from the United Way and genworth. The genworth donation enabled the newest site to open at the Friendship Café at village Presbyterian Church. Programs are now in place not only in Powhatan, but also at a Friendship Café at the West richmond Church of the brethren in henrico County that partners with Tuckahoe Family ymCa, and the senior Center in innsbrook that partners with the shady grove Family ymCa. in the fall of 2010, the program expanded to the Chickahominy Family ymCa as a special offering for their Community hot spot and the Four mile Creek baptist Church and the Charles City County Friendship Cafés. new partnerships in the program include such organizations as art on Wheels, virginia Commonwealth University art department and the visual arts Center. The growing younger health and wellness program is a partnership between the y and senior Connections.

SeeINg IS belIevINgsara link is now a believer. sara, director of the older adult initiative with
the United Way, recently saw firsthand senior citizens at the ymCa growing younger health and wellness program in action. she says it made her realize that when it comes to staying healthy, senior citizens can keep up with the best of them. “it was everything i thought it would be, but better. This woman came in with a walker and she was working it. it almost brought tears to my eyes,” said sara. since 2009, the United Way has been a donor to the growing younger health and wellness program that helps senior citizens participate in fun and engaging exercise classes and art. sara says seeing the class for the first time was an eye-opener. “When i saw the energy in the room with the upbeat music and the physical equipment, it was very impressive,” she said. “sometimes some-thing is good on paper, but it doesn’t live up to your expectations. seeing the class firsthand really captures more meaning. i wanted to get up there and start exercising myself.”
sara says the class was so inspiring that she couldn’t wait to tell her co-worker, heather Turbyne-Pollard, vice President of Community impact at the United Way. heather says hearing sara’s account only reiterates why the United Way, along with genworth, is proud of their partnership with the y. “We love the y and we were excited with the collaboration. our mission is to support older adults to age safely and with dignity. That’s what the y has been able to do through this program. it’s exciting to see genworth now donate to the program as well,” she said.
as representatives of the United Way, both sara and heather say they are committed to the growing younger health and wellness program. They wish they had more money to donate. however, they said as long as they see great out-comes, the United Way will continue their relationship with the ymCa of greater richmond. “Kudos to the y for their innovation,” said heather. “They’re bringing people of all ages and the community together.”
ReadY TO eXeRcISeTwo days a week, Janet nugent leads a rambunctious group of students. They like their music
upbeat, they like to move and they love to talk. They’re also all over the age of 62. Janet teaches an exercise class with the ymCa growing younger health and wellness program. With three years under her belt, she says each day is a learning experience. “it’s very motivating. i never want to miss a class and i can’t wait to get there,” she said. as a fitness instructor, Janet leads senior citizens through a variety of exercise classes that help them with their balance and increase their strength. “We have a good selection of tools that we use to work on things and tie it back into their daily activities, whether it’s brushing their teeth or just washing dishes,” said Janet.
Janet says at first glance people might assume that a senior citizens’ exercise class is boring, but that perception is wrong. “People would be surprised. When you usually think of seniors you think of a slower pace. here, the activity level is high and we’re moving steadily for 45 minutes,” she said.
Janet says her students continuously inspire her, not only for their physical ability, but for the relationships they’ve formed with each other. “it’s always interesting to see the camaraderie in the group. They have a very strong bond.”
it’s apparent that the feeling of respect is shared by the members of Janet’s class. They use words such as “wonderful” and “amazing” to describe her. but Janet says she’s the lucky one. “This is a generation not raised to go to the gym, but they choose to stay fit. They teach me. i feel honored to be able to do this.”

ThaNK YOU fOR beINg a fRIeNdThe golden years are more golden for gwendolyn Cottman, 82,
Janis grannum, 76, and arlene robinson, 86. as members of the ymCa growing younger health and wellness program, held at the senior Center twice a week and two times a month at the shady grove Family ymCa, these ladies are giving a fresh perspective on retirement. “it puts a new spin on the perception of senior citizens. because if we didn’t have this, we wouldn’t be as active,” said Janis. “There’s just no explaining it,” chimes in arlene. “it makes me feel good after i finish.” gwendolyn agrees. “i was a member of the y before i moved to richmond. This class is exactly what i was look-ing for.”
The trio joined the program through the senior Center. To be as able as they are in this stage of their life is a blessing. They credit their exercise instructor with keeping them motivated. “Ja-net is wonderful,” said Janis. “because of her i’m stronger and i’ve personally branched out with my own class with a couple of seniors in my building.”
The connection that Janis has built with others is a result of the relationships she’s made through the program. The bond of friendship that these three have made is one they never expected, but are grateful for. “They’re good people,” said arlene. “They’re easy to be around and you learn something from everyone.”
arlene also teams up with gwendolyn during art sessions, pro-vided by art on Wheels and the visual arts Center of richmond. a grant from the United Way pays for the classes. arlene says while the exercise component of the growing younger program helps her physically, the art sessions bring out her artistic side. “i lost the ability to do art when i had a stroke and heart attack,” she said. “i like the creativity because you learn so much.”
as a result of the ymCa growing younger health and wellness program, gwendolyn, Janis and arlene are no longer saying what they can’t do because of their age. They’re saying what they can. “it’s working,” laughs gwendolyn. “That’s why we come back.”
art on Wheels, through the growing younger program, gives participants a chance to bring out their creative side.

d R I v e NThe ymCa of greater richmond Triathlon Training Team is dedicated to helping anyone reach their fitness goals, whether they are an experienced triathlete, an aspiring one or just want to get in shape. The group, which runs for 10 months, is open to all skill levels looking for support, guidance, knowledge and training. Classes are held at the Chester Family ymCa, Patrick henry Family ymCa and downtown ymCa. members take part in swimming, biking and running classes that help them reach their personal goals and eventually participate in a triathlon.

MINd OveR MaTTeR “i’m 51 going on 18,” jokes Tim middleton. an avid participant
with the ymCa Triathlon Training Team at Chester Family ymCa, Tim has been involved with the program since 2008. his main reason for enrolling? simple, after years of taking part in the same races, Tim was bored. “i was running in the richmond half-marathon. i was at about mile 10 when i thought ‘this is really boring, there’s got to be something else.’ i heard people talking about triathlons and thought it was a great idea,” he said. “i didn’t find anything until i learned about the program at the Chester y. i signed up and have been hooked ever since.”
With 15 races under his belt, Tim says each class pushes him to his limits and he appreciates that. That’s because at every training class, he’s driven and determined to beat someone – himself. “When i go into a race, i have no clue what i’m going to do, but i give it my best. For the next race, i compete against myself to beat that time. i’m always improving myself,” he said.
despite his strong spirit, Tim admits that it can often be a case of mind over matter to get to the finish line. “mentally, i know i can do this. my body may want to quit, but it’s my mind that keeps pushing me. it’s a great sense of accomplishment.”
Tim says he’s grateful for his experience with the Triathlon Training Team. he says without it he might have given up racing years ago. “i love to run and be active, but without this i would probably have said, ‘i’ve got better things to do.’ For every one step forward, i would have probably taken 10 steps back.”
With his next race in sight, Tim will continue to train and push himself. That’s because for him quitting is never an option. “life gives you many options and you have two choices – rejection or acceptance.” Clearly, Tim is accepting nothing but victory.
TRaNSfORMINg MeMbeRS INTO TRIaThleTeS
To discover the transforming power of training for a triathlon, just ask robert Flanigan. he witnesses it every day as coach for the ymCa Triathlon Training Team. robert, the head owner and coach of Central virginia endurance, has been affiliated with the program since 2008. “it’s my baby,” he said. “it’s a life change created in so many people.”
When the program first started four years ago, only six women signed up. it wasn’t until the following year that the program truly took off. robert says the program grew from 6 to 25 people. “it was a 12-week program for the october race. it was so successful that ymCa members demanded it become a full year program,” said robert. Today, the pro-gram is offered at three ymCa branches – Chester, Patrick henry and downtown.
robert says a key factor with the Triathlon Training Team is that it’s accessible to anyone who wants to partici-pate. “i wanted this program to be an affordable solution for people that wanted to try a triathlon. it’s only $25 a month, which is the same amount you would pay for an in-dividual session with a personal trainer.”
also, the age range of the participants is mid-to-late 40s, a fact that isn’t lost upon robert. “That’s the neat thing about triathlons. most people find the sport late in life. most y members find that it’s a great way to break the monotony of their training.”
above all, robert says the spirit of teamwork that is felt in each training class is the biggest sign of success. “it’s good for those that want to train or those that want to be social and lose weight. it can help anyone achieve the goals they’re looking for.”

day’s work. val is a family physician at the Family Physicians of Chester. in addition to his work duties, he is also a member of the Chester Family ymCa board of management and a proud donor to the ymCa strengthening Communities Fund. With gifts to this fund, the y is able to provide members affordable opportunities for stimulating activities and socialization. best of all, it gives families a reliable place to grow in spirit, mind and
body. “it makes me feel good to be able to give something back to the community,” said val. “The y does great things for the community in terms of physical well-being.”
as a family physician, val knows the importance of being healthy. he says the beauty of the y is that it makes healthy living programs accessible for everyone. “They have income-based rates, so people can’t make excuses. They have really convenient hours and lots of different programs. The y really gears to different ages.”
above all, val says the y gives members the tools they need to be stronger and to feel better. “That’s the main reason to go to the y, your health. some of it’s social, but the real reason is to stimulate physical activity.”
val says another aspect that makes the ymCa so successful in the community is the fact that employees are passionate about their work. “The y employees really do a great job and you can tell they enjoy it. it’s always a pleasant place to go.”
Team members give a ‘thumbs up’ to victory.

n u r t u r i n gThe bellwood elementary ymCa after-school program provides children at bellwood elementary a safe place to go after school until a bus takes them home. The program is provided at no cost to families. it is a collaboration between Chesterfield County Public schools, Communities in schools (Cis) of Chesterfield, the midlothian Family ymCa and is funded by midlothian rotary Club. The bellwood elementary ymCa after-school program provides students with a healthy snack, helps them with their homework and let’s them participate in physical education. Children eligible for the program are selected by the Cis coordinator.

ReadINg, WRITINg aNd MagIcThe magic man. That’s how some children at the bellwood elementary ymCa
after-school program might refer to Jay swedenborg. Jay is the executive direc-tor of Communities in schools (Cis) of Chesterfield County. he’s also the man who keeps the children’s imagination active with disappearing quarter tricks and jug-gling acts. For these kids, Jay is the man who makes their after-school program come to life.
Jay swedenborg has been with Cis for 18 years. Through a school-based co-ordinator, Cis strategically aligns and delivers needed resources so that students can focus on learning. The program currently serves students at five Chesterfield County Public schools, including bellwood elementary. “The bellwood elementary ymCa after-school program all started with a conversation between don Jones, a former senior vice President with the ymCa of greater richmond, and a Cis board member and me. don asked if we would be interested in working together to build a program at bellwood,” Jay said. “i enthusiastically agreed and we began a year-long planning and coordination process that resulted in the bellwood elementary ymCa after-school program.”
Jay says he’s proud to be a part of the program. “by far, my favorite thing about the bellwood program is the quality of the experience for the students. every day of the school year, and even when there’s a holiday, i know that 70 bellwood elementary students are receiving the highest quality child care pos-sible,” he said.
it’s obvious just how much of an impact Jay has had on the children. “i like mr. swedenborg. he does magic tricks,” said Paul akilo, 10. amy Cuellar, 9, agrees. “he helps me with a lot and he makes me laugh.” Jay is equally impressed with the impact the bellwood program has on the children and the community. “The program simply is a blessing to the individual students, to the families and the staff of bellwood elementary. it allows parents to work longer hours with the full faith and confidence that their children are safe, and they are getting assistance with homework from both ymCa staff and bellwood elementary teachers.”
afTeR-SchOOl all-STaRS amy is the actress. Paul is the football player in the making, while brenden wants the dual role
of football and baseball player. They all have dreams. They all plan to make them happen. They’re all under the age of 12. Fortunately, these young all-stars attend the bellwood elementary ymCa after-school program, where dreams are made possible and kids are allowed to be kids. “This is the best program ever! i like it here because they help you with your homework and that lets you get better at school,” said amy Cuellar, 9.
seeing the program firsthand is inspiring. Children of all races are playing, learning and having fun. most important, they’re happy. amy and Paul have been attending the program for five years. brenden has only been here for one year. it’s clear by talking to them just how much they love it. “you have fun and people help you with your homework because sometimes parents are at work or don’t understand your assignment,” said brenden, 9.
Paul, whose family is from the Congo, says he looks forward to the program and that he’s grateful for the academic help he’s given every day. “here they give you things that can help you with learning like calculators and math cards. They help you to be better,” said Paul, 10.
The program also helps keep children from potential trouble. being left home alone can often put children and teens at high risk for juvenile crime, substance abuse and other harmful problems. brenden says some of his fifth grade classmates were recently caught drinking and smoking after school. brenden says he’s grateful to be in the program because it keeps him away from negative influence.
The bellwood elementary ymCa after-school program is instrumental in nurturing and encouraging bright young minds of tomorrow. even at such young ages, they understand just how important the program is in helping them to succeed in school and in life. brenden sums it up best by saying, “here they let you be whatever you want to be.”
Jay entertains the kids with a juggling act.

gIvINg chIldReN hOPe giving hope to children who might otherwise fall through the
cracks. That’s what the midlothian rotary Club provides to children at the bellwood elementary ymCa after-school program. since its inception in 1905, the rotary has lived up to its passionate mission of providing service to others through the fellowship of business, professional and community leaders. but their compassion doesn’t stop there, it extends to local children as well. For nearly 10 years, the rotary has been one of the donors to the bellwood elementary school ymCa after-school program.
“one of the charities the rotary supports is the y,” said Karen Keegan, ymCa executive vice President of operations. “They have supported us financially in building the midlothian Family ymCa and for more than 10 years they have supported the bellwood elementary ymCa after-school program.”
“We work locally where we know we can make an impact. The rotary tries to exemplify our motto of service above self,” said g. Chandler Williams, President of the midlothian rotary Club. “We
support 10 charity organizations in the richmond area that sup-port women, cancer organizations, educational organizations and children.”
The rotary’s dedication to children has been exemplified through their backing of the bellwood elementary ymCa after-school program. “When the midlothian Family ymCa opened its full facility in 2000, it was looking in the community to see where it could partner for assistance. There were many schools that could be assisted that weren’t, including bellwood,” said Karen.
Through the bellwood elementary ymCa after-school program, kindergartners through fifth graders are treated to a fun-filled afternoon with y employees. but most important, they’re safe. “These kids had been going home unsupervised. Through the bell-wood program, we tutor them and get them up to speed on their academics,” said Karen. “one of the things teachers at bellwood say is that the program allows kids to be in a safe place. They can play, do homework and eat nutritious snacks. basically, it lets kids be kids.”

eMPOWeRINgin 2007, The Community Foundation serving richmond and Central virginia conducted a community-wide needs assessment that uncovered a gap in services for older youth as they transition to adulthood. The northside initiative for older youth was developed to address this need in a targeted and measurable way. nearly 300 young adults, ages 14-24, participate in the program that provides them with organized activities, study groups and tutoring sessions for participants. The north richmond ymCa Community Center, boys and girls Clubs of metro richmond, F.i.r.s.T. Contractors and J. sargeant reynolds Community College are all partners in the program.

INSPIRINg YOUNg MINdS helping students “think outside the block.” That’s what
Corey baskin does for students who participate in the northside initiative for older youth. since 2009, Corey, an employee of J. sargeant reynolds College, has worked with the program. The initiative, in partnership with the north richmond ymCa Community Center, provides organized activities, study groups, tutoring sessions and career coaching, all of which help older youth transition successfully to adulthood. “it broadens their horizon and gets them outside of the box, which i refer to as outside of the blocks, meaning their neighborhood blocks. i challenge them to strive to achieve whatever their best may be.”
The initiative is instrumental in helping students think about life beyond high school. “We do a lot of career pathway activities from résumé writing to interviewing skills. We also help with college essays, college visits and financial aid. We give them information that will help them choose a college.” Corey says the college visits can really inspire students because they’re presented with opportunities they might have thought didn’t exist for them. “When we visit the college institutions, they see individuals that represent them in their community and think, ‘oh, maybe i can come here.’ it gives them the extra drive to know that they can achieve their goal.” however, students aren’t limited in their options. in addition to learning about college, students are also taught a professional trade.
Corey says being involved with the initiative is fulfilling because he sees himself in the students. “i come from a background similar to theirs and that gives me the opportunity to invest in them. The obstacles and situations that they face every day were once a situation for me.”
Corey says he’s proud to be a part of the initiative and credits the y with helping the students live up to their potential. “The north richmond ymCa is really a staple in the initiative because it’s the home base for these students. They say it takes a village and i see the y as the village. The y is monumental in terms of the success of this program.”
POISed fOR SUcceSSraveil brown’s future is looking bright. The 18 year-
old is a member of the north richmond ymCa Community Center and a participant in the northside initiative for older youth. he’s been with the initiative for two years and says the program is helping him chart his course to success. “it’s beneficial to everyone. They help you learn that school and education are the right routes.” and the route that raveil is taking is toward higher education. “my mission now is to go into sports medicine. i’m taking classes at J. sargeant reyn-olds now, but ultimately i hope to transfer to vCU.”
raveil says he was introduced to the idea of sports medicine through the initiative. “With the initiative, i was able to sit down with a trainer and he talked to me about different parts of the body and how each body part works. now, i want to learn more, which is why i want to go into sports medicine.”
he also credits his career coach, Corey baskin, with helping him stay on track. “Corey has helped me in many ways. he’s taught me that school is the right route. he also taught me that if sports medicine doesn’t work out to make sure i have a backup plan.”
raveil recognizes that without the initiative, his life might have turned out differently. “it would have been hard-er for me. i would have found it harder to get things to work for me or to get things in order. now, i have a job, a car and
i’m about to get an apartment. The initiative helps me to make better choices.”
With his sights set firmly on the future, raveil is just one example of how powerful the northside initiative for older youth is in helping young adults transition to adult-hood. raveil says he now sees clearly that life is full of limit-less possibilities, if you work hard at it. “When you’re young, your brain can go off in several different directions. This program expands your mind and motivates you. and that’s a trump card.”

if you help a child today, you just might impact the community tomorrow. That’s the hope of The Community Foundation serving richmond and Central virginia through their work with the northside initiative for older youth. in 2007, the Foundation conducted a community-wide needs assessment and discovered a need for services focusing on older youth. as a result, the Foundation partnered with the north richmond ymCa Community Center, boys & girls Clubs of metro richmond, F.i.r.s.T. Contractors and J. sargeant reynolds Community College to create the northside initiative for older youth.
“We decided we needed to focus on the
northside and deal with older youth. a lot of programs deal with children and early childhood education, but we lose a lot of students through gangs, teen pregnancy or because they drop out of school,” said Farhad aghdami, vice Chairman of The Community Foundation’s board of governors. Farhad has served on the board for six years. “The northside initiative for older youth provides an outlet and pathway for success. This is a tough population and providing them an alternative after-school program and some career counseling gives them options. it makes the transition from adolescence to adulthood a success,” he said.
Farhad says the work the initiative does not only impacts young adults, but will also
have a positive effect on the community. “if you can improve high school graduation rates and decrease teen pregnancy then there’s an economic benefit to the community because you’re creating pathways to success for families.”
he says the Foundation is proud of the impact the northside initiative for older youth has on its young participants so far and expects even more success in the future. “This is one of our first efforts in focusing on this population.
