Frequently Asked Questions Regarding The YMCA Strong Kids 1. What is The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign all about?
The YMCA has been committed to the development of young people in our community for over 155 years. In 2001, our YMCA recommitted to a strategic plan, which includes a key direction of Building Strong Kids. In 2007 over 30,000 young people in the Halifax Regional Municipality and in several communities in Nova Scotia grew in spirit, mind, and body through involvement in programs and services of our YMCA. At The YMCA, we believe that we can help Build Strong Young People with a particular focus on promoting physical activity and fitness, teaching new skills that in turn build self esteem and confidence and developing critical leadership qualities that will help young people grow up to be contributing citizens. In order to ensure that all young people have affordable access to the character bulding, quality programs and services of The YMCA, financial support is needed from our community.
